Disposable household income is one of the basic indicators of living standards. This paper deals with what socioeconomic factors affect such income and predetermine how the population is stratified by income level. It goes on to reveal the connections between household income and housing quality parameters. There is a visible difference in living standards between different income groups of the population. Data mining techniques were used to examine data from the EU-SILC surveys for 2005, 2010 and 2014.

Keywords: disposable income, housing quality, data mining, EU-SILC
