More than 94% of households in Ipswich are set to benefit from a £100 payment aimed at helping families with rising energy costs.
Figures show 59,390 homes in the town fall within council tax bands A to D, meaning residents in the vast majority of Ipswich properties will be eligible for the support.
Overall, 63,170 properties are registered for council tax in Ipswich, putting the proportion set to benefit from the payment at 94.01%.
George Lankester, Ipswich Borough Council's portfolio holder for communities, welcomed the Chancellor's announcement and said the money would provide valuable support to households across the town.
He said: "The Chancellor's announcement is very welcome.
"Data shows that 94% of households in Ipswich will benefit from the £100 payment to help with rising energy costs.
"This will be much needed breathing space for families."
The figures mean just under 3,800 homes in Ipswich fall outside council tax bands A to D.
