The Multi-Variable Regional Comparison Feature is designed for retrieving topics for different geographies to aid in making comparisons. Select any number of variables from a single table, and then specify your table options such as geography type, age group, or gender (if applicable). Results will be shown for all geographies of the selected type and can be easily exported to excel for further work.

This definition of the family classifies people in the following manner:
1) husbands and wives (married or common law) living in the same
dwelling, with or without children (children of any age who report
"single" as their marital status, or imputed children); 2) lone parents
(male or female) with one or more children. Thus, the residual
population is called "non-family persons" and is made up of persons
living alone and of persons living in a household but who are not
immediate relatives of other household members.
Taxfilers and Dependents
This represents an estimate of the total population as derived from the
taxfile. Included here are taxfilers, their non-filing spouses and
their children; the latter can be filing or non-filing children.
Spouses and children can be identified by the information on a
taxfiler's return or from the child tax benefits file.
Taxfilers
Most taxfilers are people who filed a tax return for the reference year
and were alive at the end of the year. Starting with the 1993 tax year,
those taxfilers who died within the tax year and who indicated a
non-filing spouse had their income and their filing status attributed to
the spouse.
Labour Force
Consists of all persons who reported income from employment (wages,
salaries, commissions and self-employment income) or income from
Employment Insurance.
Total Income
Note: This variable has been revised over the years, as reflected in
the comments below; data users who plan to compare current data to data
from previous years should bear in mind these changes. Also, it should
be noted that all income amounts are gross, with the exception of rental
income, limited partnership income and all forms of self-employment
income.
Income reported by taxfilers from any of the following sources:
Labour force income
Employment income
Wages/salaries/commissions
Other employment income as reported on line 104 of the tax form (tips, gratuities, royalties, etc.)
Net self-employment
Employment Insurance benefits

Spouses' allowances (included with OAS since 1994)
Provincial refundable tax credits in Ontario, Quebec and
Manitoba (since 1990), British Columbia and the Northwest Territories
(since 1993); Quebec family allowances (since 1994); British Columbia
family bonus (since 1996), New Brunswick and Alberta family allowance
(since 1997).
Monies not included in income above are: veterans' disability and
dependent pensioners' payments, war veterans' allowances, lottery
winnings and capital gains.
Government Transfer Payments
For the purpose of these data, transfer payments denote the following
payments made to individuals by the federal or provincial governments:
Employment Insurance
Family Allowance (to 1992)
FST credit (in 1989 and 1990)
GST credit (which began replacing the FST credit in 1990 and completely replaced it by 1991)
HST credit (beginning in 1997)
Child Tax Credit (to 1992)
Child Tax Benefit (starting with 1993)
Old Age Security pension/net federal supplements
Canada and Quebec Pension plans
Working Income Tax Benefit (beginning in 2010)
non-taxable income and provincial refundable tax credits (both beginning in 1990)
Quebec family allowance (beginning in 1994)
British Columbia family bonus (beginning in 1996) and New Brunswick and Alberta family allowances (beginning in 1997).
The individuals in this case receive these payments without providing
goods or services in return. Previous to the 1996 data, "Transfer
payments" also included superannuation and other (private) pensions.
Median
Refers to the middle number in a group of numbers. Where a median
income, for example, is given as $26,000, it means that exactly half of
the incomes reported are greater than or equal to $26,000, and that the
other half are less than or equal to the median amount. Median incomes
in the data tables are rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. With the
exception of "Total Income", zero values are not included in the
calculation of medians for individuals, but are included in the
calculation of medians for families.
Provincial Index (Province = 100)
The median income for the area is expressed as a percentage of the median income for the province.
Canadian Index (Canada = 100)
The median income for the area is expressed as a percentage of the median income for Canada.
Personal Income per Capita
This is obtained by dividing the total income (both market and transfers) by the population.
Index
This is a comparison of the variable for the given area with either the province (province = 100) or with Canada (Canada = 100).
Ratio
This is the relationship of one variable to another where both are different, as the ratio of males to females, for example.
Number Reporting
This indicates the number of persons or items represented in a variable
(e.g., the number of taxfilers reporting income in the year in
question).
Per Capita
These amounts are the aggregate amounts for a given area, divided by the total population for that same area.
Income Aggregates
These are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. See also "Total income" and the various sources of income.
Negative Income
This generally applies to net self-employment income, net rental income
and net limited partnership income. Negative income would indicate that
expenses exceeded gross income.
Non-Negative Income
This is income that is zero or greater.
Economic Self-Reliance Ratio
The ratio of market income (of all kinds) to total personal income. For
example, for a community that has a self-reliance ratio of 70.0%, this
means that of all the income flowing into that community, 70 cents on
the dollar came from market sources; the other 30 cents was transfers
from government.
Average Couple Family Income
The total income of all the couple families divided by the number of
such families. This excludes lone-parent families and non-family
persons.
Couple Family
Consists of a couple living together (whether married or common law) at
the same address, and any children living at the same address; taxfiling
children must report a marital status other than married. Previous to
the 1998 data, taxfiling children had to report “single” as their
marital status. Beginning in 2000, same-sex couples reporting as couples
are counted as couple families. See also Census families.
Lone Parent Family
Refers to a family with only one parent, male or female, and with at least one child. See also "Census families".
Non-Family Person
This is an individual who is not living with a spouse, single children
or parent, with exception: the exception to the parent category is
related to the marital status of the taxfiling child; only children who
report marital status of "single" will be treated as children of a
family; others will be non-family persons. See also "Census families".
