This gives you the figures from 2002 to 2007 for all areas of Lanachire and shows the average pay for all residents of each part of the county.

So if you take 2006 (since that's where the 28k figure comes from)... anyone in full time employment living with somebody else in fulltime employment will easily have enough income to meet the average household income in Hyndburn (which has gone up 52.7%).
