This article uses data from the British Household Panel Survey to examine inequalities in children's environment. In particular, it examines the relationship between income and deprivation. Results show that although income is a major determinant of deprivation, the two concepts do not overlap entirely. For example, more than 40 percent of the most deprived children are not found in the poorest income category. Furthermore, about 15 percent of the poorest children fare better than average on the deprivation index. Multivariate analysis reveals that household structure accounts partly for the relatively weak relationship between income and deprivation. Children growing up with never-married lone mothers appear especially disadvantaged, even after controlling for income
