Percentage of people with no savings in Calderdale and Kirklees as recorded by the Financial Lives Survey 2017.  Please see https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/research/financial-lives-consumers-across-uk.pdf, page 49. 

Figures are stated for some areas on the bottom of page 49 of this report, but not for Calderdale and Kirklees.  If that geographic area is too small, would it be possible to have the figure for West Yorkshire?
