Data
The data used to create this interactive web application is from the following listed data tables:
- Table 11-10-0222-01 Household spending, Canada, regions and provinces
- Table 11-10-0223-01 Household spending by household income quintile, Canada, regions and provinces
- Table 11-10-0224-01 Household spending by household type
- Table 11-10-0225-01 Spending by household tenure
- Table 11-10-0233-01 Household spending, three territorial capitals
Additional information
To ensure data quality, suppression of expenditure estimates is based on the coefficient of variation (CV). Expenditures that have a CV greater than or equal to 35% are suppressed as they are too unreliable to be published.
The 2019 Survey of Household Spending questionnaire was streamlined to reduce respondent burden. As a result, some data series (for example, Tobacco products and alcoholic beverages) are no longer available or have been combined to create new series starting with reference year 2019. Therefore, estimates for some expenditure categories in 2019 may no longer be directly comparable to those from previous years due to changes to the questionnaire and/or to the mode used to collect certain expenditures.
Canada-level statistics include the 10 provinces only.
For Iqaluit, no estimates will be available with SHS 2021 data as the response rate was too low to allow for estimates of minimum quality to be released.
The SHS is conducted every 2 years starting with the 2017 reference year. Prior to 2017, it was done annually in the provinces, and every 2 years since 2015 in the territorial capitals.
How to use
How to use this interactive visual
To compare expenditures for specific spending categories by the various domains (Canada, regions and provinces; the three territorial capitals; household type; household income quintile; household tenure), select the view in the navigation pane.
To display estimates for a specific year, use the reference year drop-down menu. In the “Canada, regions and provinces”, “three territorial capitals” and “household income quintile” views, use the geography drop-down menu to display estimates for a specific geographic area.
In the “Canada, regions and provinces” and “household income quintile” views, the Canada map is color-coded to identify how total current consumption estimates differ between provinces or between regions. The darker shade of blue refers to higher expenditures, while the lighter blue refers to lower expenditures. Similar color-coding is used in the table to the right of the map, which can be sorted by descending/ascending order.
The line chart is a time-series visual showing the average household spending for the selected expenditure categories over-time. To view estimates for a specific spending category, use the category breakdown drop-down menu. To reset the selections, select the “Select all” button twice.
The bar chart includes total current consumption and the three major spending categories (food, shelter and transportation) estimates.
