List of cities in Canada by median household income
(Redirected from Highest-income census metropolitan areas in Canada)
For the analysis of income, Statistics Canada distinguishes between the following statistical units:
- Households: "a person or group of persons who occupy the same dwelling"[1]
- Economic families: "two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law union, adoption or a foster relationship (a couple may be of opposite or same sex)"[2]
- Census families: "a married couple and the children, if any, of either and/or both spouses; a couple living common law and the children, if any, of either and/or both partners; or a lone parent of any marital status with at least one child living in the same dwelling and that child or those children (all members of a particular census family live in the same dwelling; a couple may be of opposite or same sex)"[3]
Therefore, a person living alone constitutes a household, but not an economic or census family. Two couples sharing a dwelling constitute a single household, but two economic or census families. A couple living with its children and one spouse's parents constitutes a single household or economic family, but two census families.
Income statistics by census metropolitan area (CMA) are published:
- every 5 years for households (data from the Census of Population)
- annually for economic families, for select CMAs (data from the Canadian Income Survey)
- annually for census families (data from the T1 Family File)
The income concept for this article is total income.[4]
