This is a synthetic data set based on Austrian EU-SILC data from 2006. The
original sample was provided by Statistics Austria.
Details
The data set is used as population data in some of the examples in package
simFrame. Note that it is included for illustrative purposes only. It
consists of 25 000 households, hence it does not represent the true population
sizes of Austria and its regions.
Some variable names are different from the standardized names used by the
statistical agencies, as the latter are rather cryptic codes. Moreover, as
household income components are not yet available in the synthetic data set,
the equivalized household income is computed only from the personal net income
of the household members.
