The global non-response rate (GNR) is a weighted measure of survey non-response, calculated based on the number of households that did not respond to the survey and the number of questions that respondents left out. The GNR can be used as an indicator of data quality, with lower values indicating more accurate data. Geographies with a GNR of higher than 50% were suppressed by Statistics Canada due to concerns about data accuracy. If a geography has a GNR of 0, it means that there was a response from all households surveyed, not necessarily that the data is representative of all households in the geography.
Figures may not add to total due to random rounding.
a Self-employment income is a net value, after a deduction of expenses. Negative values in this category mean that losses have exceeded earnings.
b Investment income may take negative values if losses exceed earnings.
c This variable refers to the gains or losses during 2010 from the sale of capital property such as mutual funds, depreciable property or other properties such as cottages, buildings and securities.
