Notes :

Footnote 1

The reference person is the household member that is mainly responsible for the financial maintenance (for example, pays the mortgage, property taxes or electricity). In cases where members equally share the financial responsibility, one person is chosen to be the reference person.

Footnote 2

For more information about survey methodology, data quality, variable definitions and data products, see the Survey of Household Spending User Guide (catalogue number 62F0026MIE) available free on the Statistics Canada website: Household expenditures research papers series.

Footnote 3

For 2012, household expenditure data were also collected in the three territories. The data are available in table 11-10-0126-01 (formerly CANSIM table 203-0030). However, caution should be used when comparing provincial and territorial data since the collection method was different in the territories.

Footnote 4

The Survey of Household Spending uses survey weights which take into account population projections from the 2011 Census.

Footnote 5

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.
