Table note 1

For the purpose of these data, government transfers denote the following payments made to individuals by the federal or provincial governments: Employment Insurance; Goods and Services Tax Credit and/or Harmonized Sales Tax Credit; Canada Child Tax Benefit; Old Age Security and Net Federal Supplements; Canada and Quebec Pension Plan; Workers' Compensation; Social Assistance; Provincial Refundable Tax Credits/Family Benefits; and, Other Government Transfers (for example, Working Income Tax Benefit).

Table note 2

Other income sources can include, but are not limited to: income from self-employment, income from investments, income from registered disability saving plans, spousal and child support payments received, scholarships, apprenticeship grants, or retiring allowances.

Table note 3

Median is 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 is less than or equal to the median amount. Median income is rounded to the nearest $10. Zero values are not included in the calculation of medians for individuals.

Table note 4

After-tax income is income from all sources, minus provincial and federal income taxes.

Table note 5

The Economic Dependency Ratio (EDR) is the sum of transfer payment dollars received as government benefits, compared to every $100 of employment income. For example, an EDR of 4.69 means that $4.69 in government transfers were received for every $100 of employment income.
