Anotace: This article is focused on the actual and required incomes of Czech households and their differences among

regions (NUTS 3). The source data is taken from the SILC survey from 2005 to 2015. Equalised net annual
income is selected as the income indicator. For the characteristics of poverty, the poverty rate, the poverty
gap ratio and the depth of poverty are used. The required minimum subjective household income is modelled
as a function of actual income, household size and region by a regression model with random effects. In addition,
the objective and subjective conceptions of poverty and the degree of their compliance in regions are confronted.
