The data comes as the new Labour government comes under pressure to scrap the controversial policy.
Sir Keir Starmer faces the prospect of his first Commons rebellion over the issue with left-wing MPs threatening an attempt to force a vote on ditching the cap.
It is estimated hundreds of thousands of children could be lifted out of poverty if the limit, which was introduced by the Conservative government in 2017 and prevents parents from claiming child tax credit or universal credit for more than two children, is axed. Across Greater Manchester, 28,390 households were impacted by the cap in the year to April 2024.
