It does, but it's also more than that. It's a nationalized, annualized estimate of the total population of destitute individuals derived from a reasonably large survey at 16 sampling regions

Sure, but I’m not sure many people would describe that as destitute. Kind of like using a food bank once and being described as “reliant on food banks to live”.

That's not what they used as a definition. The definition is here. Without being an expert in the field, I can't say anything definitively, but looking at the report it sounds like a fair definition to usepic.twitter.com/AA02Az0XwO

That is a framing device. Yes people have crises. They do not last a year. Hence the 1.5 million is bogus. There are perfectly robust ONS poverty stats out there. This JRF is just not that good quality. Why didn't Alston use one official stat?

I think you've misunderstood how they calculated the estimate, it's more complex than 185,000*52-repeats. In many ways, that actually makes it more problematic, but they didn't annualize in the way you're suggesting
