1. Data source: Statistics Canada, 2001 Census (20% sample)
2. Population in economic families with incomes below the Statistics Canada low-income cut-off (LICO).
3. Unattached individuals with incomes below the Statistics Canada low-income cut-off (LICO).
4. Population in private households with incomes below the Statistics Canada low-income cut-offs (LICO).
5. The LICOs represent levels of income where people spend disproportionate amounts of money for food, shelter, and clothing.
6. Low income cut-offs (LICOs) are based on family and community size; cut-offs are updated to account for changes in the Consumer Price Index.
7. The term economic family refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption.
8. Low income cut-off (LICO) data exclude institutional residents.
9. Low income cut-off (LICO) data were not derived for economic families or unattached individuals in the territories or on Indian reserves.
10. "Health regions" are defined by the provincial ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces except Nova Scotia. In Nova Scotia, the Ministry of Health uses statistical "zones" rather than its legislated administrative areas; the zones are aggregations of the nine district health authorities.
11. For complete Canadian coverage, each of the northern territories also represents a health region.
12. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2003.
13. A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code.
14. In Ontario, Public health units (PHU) administer health promotion and disease prevention programs, and District health councils (DHC) are advisory, health planning organizations.
15. In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
16. The following symbols are used in Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available and (...) for figures not appropriate or not applicable.
