About

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.

Table Definitions [show]

Total income

Refers to the total money income received from the following sources during calendar year 2005 by persons 15 years of age and over:

wages and salaries (total)
net farm income
net non-farm income from unincorporated business and/or professional practice
child benefits
Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement
benefits from Canada or Quebec Pension Plan
benefits from Employment Insurance
other income from government sources
dividends, interest on bonds, deposits and savings certificates, and other investment income
retirement pensions, superannuation and annuities, including those from RRSPs and RRIFs
other money income.

After-tax income

Refers to total income from all sources minus federal, provincial and territorial income taxes paid for 2000 and 2005.

Average income of individuals

Refers to the weighted mean total income of individuals 15 years of age and over who reported income for 2005. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of individuals (e.g., males 45 to 54 years of age) by the number of individuals with income in that group.

Median income of individuals

The median income of a specified group of income recipients is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves, i.e., the incomes of the first half of individuals are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median income is calculated from the unrounded number of individuals (e.g., males 45 to 54 years of age) with income in that group.

Standard error of average income

Refers to the estimated standard error of average income for an income size distribution. If interpreted as shown below, it serves as a rough indicator of the precision of the corresponding estimate of average income. For about 68% of the samples which could be selected from the sample frame, the difference between the sample estimate of average income and the corresponding figure based on complete enumeration would be less than one standard error. For about 95% of the possible samples, the difference would be less than two standard errors and, in about 99% of the samples, the difference would be less than approximately two and one half standard errors.
