There are two categories: non-family households and family households. A non-family household consists either of one person living alone or of two or more persons who share a dwelling, but do not constitute a family (e.g., a couple with or without children).

207. This is a subtotal of all non-official languages collected by the census that are not displayed separately here.
213. Knowledge of Official Languages Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the ability to conduct a conversation in English only, in French only, in both English and French, or in neither of the official languages of Canada.
218. First Official Language Spoken Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to a variable specified within the framework of the Official Languages Act. Remarks: This variable was derived within the framework of the application of the Official Languages Act. This derivation method is described in the regulations concerning the use of official languages for the provision of public services. It takes into account first the knowledge of the two official languages, second the mother tongue, and third the home language. People who can conduct a conversation in French only are assigned French as their first official language spoken. People who can carry on a conversation in English only are assigned English as their first official language spoken. The responses to questions on mother tongue and home language are subsequently used to establish the first official language spoken by people who speak both English and French, or who cannot speak either of the two official languages. The French category includes people who have French only or French and at least one non-official language as their mother tongue. People who have English only or English and at least one non-official language as their mother tongue are included in the English category. For cases that have not yet been classified, people are assigned to the French category when they speak French only or French and at least one non-official language as their home language. The procedure is the same for English. Thus, the population is classified into two principal categories: English or French. It is necessary to add two residual categories for people who cannot be classified in accordance with the information available: English and French and neither English nor French. Please consult the following documents for more information: Regulations Respecting Communications With and Services to the Public in Either Official Language, registered on December 16, 1991, in accordance with section 85 of the Official Languages Act, R.S.C., c. 32 (4th suppl.) and Population Estimates by First Official Language Spoken, 1991, Catalogue No. 94-320, Demography Division, Statistics Canada.

233. The 1996 category 'Chinese, n.o.s.' contains all responses of 'Chinese', including 'Mandarin', 'Cantonese' and 'Hakka'. Therefore it is not equivalent to the 2001 category 'Chinese, n.o.s.' but rather, equal to the sum of the 2001 categories of 'Chinese, n.o.s.', 'Mandarin', 'Cantonese' and 'Hakka'.
299. This is a subtotal of all non-official languages collected by the census that are not displayed separately here.
305. Knowledge of Non-official Languages Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to languages, other than English or French, in which the respondent can conduct a conversation.
310. The 1996 category 'Chinese, n.o.s.' contains all responses of 'Chinese', including 'Mandarin', 'Cantonese' and 'Hakka'.

380. This is a subtotal of all non-official languages collected by the census that are not displayed separately here.
381. Refers to the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day and his or her usual place of residence one year earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility Status (1 Year Ago). Within the category of movers, a further distinction is made between non-migrants and migrants; this difference is called migration status. Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one year earlier. Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address than the one at which they resided one year earlier. Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they lived in one year earlier. Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside Canada one year earlier (external migrants). Intraprovincial migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living in a different census subdivision than the one at which they resided one year earlier, in the same province. Interprovincial migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living in a different census subdivision than the one at which they resided one year earlier, in a different province.
381. There are no data on Mobility Status - Place of Residence 1 Year Ago and on Mobility Status - Place of Residence 5 Years Ago for dissolved census subdivisions, since the mobility status concept is based on the 2001 Census geographic structure and does not apply to dissolved census subdivisions as these were areas delineated by the 1996 Census geographic boundaries. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92 378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.
390. Refers to the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day and his or her usual place of residence five years earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility Status (5 Years Ago). Within the movers category, a further distinction is made between non-migrants and migrants; this difference is called migration status. Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided five years earlier. Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address than the one at which they resided five years earlier. Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they lived in five years earlier. Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD five years earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside Canada five years earlier (external migrants). Intraprovincial migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living in a different census subdivision than the one in which they resided five years earlier, in the same province. Interprovincial migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living in a different census subdivision than the one in which they resided five years earlier, in a different province.
390. There are no data on Mobility Status - Place of Residence 1 Year Ago and on Mobility Status - Place of Residence 5 Years Ago for dissolved census subdivisions, since the mobility status concept is based on the 2001 Census geographic structure and does not apply to dissolved census subdivisions as these were areas delineated by the 1996 Census geographic boundaries. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92 378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.
399. Citizenship Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the legal citizenship status of the respondent. Persons who are citizens of more than one country were instructed to provide the name of the other country(ies).
400. Includes those who reported dual citizenship including Canadian.
402. Place of Birth: Respondent Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to specific provinces or territories for respondents who were born in Canada, or to specific countries if born outside Canada.
402. Landed Immigrant Status Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to people who have been granted the right to live in Canada permanently by immigration authorities.
406. The places of birth selected are the ones most frequently reported by immigrants at the Canada level.
459. 'Recent immigrants' refers to persons who immigrated to Canada between 1996 and Census Day, May 15, 2001. The places of birth selected are the ones most frequently reported by recent immigrants at the Canada level.
459. Place of Birth: Respondent Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to specific provinces or territories for respondents who were born in Canada, or to specific countries if born outside Canada.
501. Period of Immigration Part A - Plain Language Definition Group of years, for example, 1996-2001, during which the immigrant was given permission to live in Canada for the first time by immigration authorities. Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to ranges of years based on the year of immigration question. Year of immigration refers to the year in which landed immigrant status was first obtained.
507. Includes data up to May 15, 2001.
508. Age at Immigration Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the age at which the respondent first obtained landed immigrant status.

516. The count for 'Total population by ethnic origin (single and multiple responses) - 20% Sample Data' represents the total population of Canada, excluding institutional residents. It also represents the sum of persons who reported single ethnic origins and multiple ethnic origins in the census. The count for 'Total population - Single responses' represents the total number of persons who reported only one ethnic origin in the census. This total is greater than the sum of single responses in this table because not all ethnic origins are shown in this profile. The count for 'Total population - Multiple responses' represents the total number of persons who reported more than one ethnic origin in the census. This total is less than the sum of multiple responses of each group because respondents reporting more than one ethnic origin are counted in the multiple responses categories for each of the groups they reported. For example: a respondent reporting Scottish and English origins is counted once under the Total population - Multiple responses category. However, the same respondent is counted once in the Scottish - Multiple responses category and counted once in the English - Multiple responses category.
516. Ethnic Origin Refers to the ethnic or cultural group(s) to which the respondent's ancestors belong. Ethnic or cultural origin refers to the ethnic 'roots' or ancestral background of the population, and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality. The comparability of ethnic origin data has been affected by several factors, including changes in the question wording, format, examples, instructions and data processing, as well as by the social environment at the time of the census. In 1996 and 2001, the comparability with previous census data is affected by the change in format and the examples provided on the questionnaire. The change in format to an open-ended question in 1996 likely affected response patterns, especially for groups who had been included as mark-in response categories in 1991. In addition, the presence of examples such as 'Canadian', which were not included in previous censuses, may also affect response patterns. For additional information, please refer to the Ethnic Origin User Guide or to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.
517. The count for 'Total population by ethnic origin (single and multiple responses) - 20% Sample Data' represents the total population of Canada, excluding institutional residents. It also represents the sum of persons who reported single ethnic origins and multiple ethnic origins in the census. The count for 'Total population - Single responses' represents the total number of persons who reported only one ethnic origin in the census. This total is greater than the sum of single responses in this table because not all ethnic origins are shown in this profile. The count for 'Total population - Multiple responses' represents the total number of persons who reported more than one ethnic origin in the census. This total is less than the sum of multiple responses of each group because respondents reporting more than one ethnic origin are counted in the multiple responses categories for each of the groups they reported. For example: a respondent reporting Scottish and English origins is counted once under the Total population - Multiple responses category. However, the same respondent is counted once in the Scottish - Multiple responses category and counted once in the English - Multiple responses category.

For example: a respondent reporting Scottish and English origins is counted once under the Total population - Multiple responses category. However, the same respondent is counted once in the Scottish - Multiple responses category and counted once in the English - Multiple responses category.

717. Aboriginal Identity Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, i.e. North American Indian, Métis or Inuit (Eskimo), and/or those who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian as defined by the Indian Act of Canada and/or who were members of an Indian Band or First Nation. In 1991 and previous censuses, Aboriginal persons were determined using the ethnic origin question (ancestry). The 1996 Census included a question on the individual's own perception of his/her Aboriginal identity. The 2001 Census question is the same as the one used in 1996.
718. This is a grouping of the total population into non-Aboriginal or Aboriginal population, with Aboriginal persons further divided into Aboriginal groups, based on their responses to three questions on the 2001 Census form. Included in the Aboriginal population are those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, that is, 'North American Indian', 'Métis' or 'Inuit (Eskimo)', and/or who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian, as defined by the Indian Act of Canada, and/or who reported they were members of an Indian Band or First Nation.
719. Users should be aware that the counts for this item are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements. The extent of the impact will depend on the geographic area under study. In 2001, a total of 30 Indian reserves and Indian settlements were incompletely enumerated by the census. The populations of these 30 communities are not included in the census counts.
723. Includes those who identified themselves as Registered Indians and/or Band members without Aboriginal identity response.

987. Occupation (based on the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics [NOC-S 2001]) Part A - Plain Language Definition Kind of work done by persons aged 15 and over. Occupation is based on the type of job the person holds and the description of his or her duties. The 2001 data on occupation are classified according to the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S 2001). For comparisons with data from the 1991 and 1996 Censuses, the variable Occupation (Historical) should be used. Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the kind of work persons were doing during the reference week, as determined by their kind of work and the description of the main activities in their job. If the person did not have a job during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to enumeration (May 15, 2001), the data relate to the job of longest duration since January 1, 2000. Persons with two or more jobs were to report the information for the job at which they worked the most hours. The 2001 occupation data are classified according to the 2001 National Occupational Classification for Statistics (NOC-S 2001). This classification is composed of four levels of aggregation. There are 10 broad occupational categories containing 47 major groups that are further subdivided into 140 minor groups. At the most detailed level, there are 520 occupation unit groups. Occupation unit groups are formed on the basis of the education, training, or skill level required to enter the job, as well as the kind of work performed, as determined by the tasks, duties and responsibilities of the occupation. For information on the NOC-S 2001, see the National Occupational Classification for Statistics, 2001, Catalogue No. 12-583-XPE.
987. Cautionary Notes: Occupation Broad Occupational Category A - Management Occupations Census data for occupation groups in Broad Occupational Category A - Management Occupations should be used with caution. Some coding errors were made in assigning the appropriate level of management, e.g., senior manager as opposed to middle manager, and in determining the appropriate area of specialization or activity, e.g., a manager of a health care program in a hospital as opposed to a government manager in health policy administration. Some non-management occupations have also been miscoded to management due to confusion over titles such as program manager, project manager, etc. Data users may wish to use data for management occupations in conjunction with other variables such as income, age and education. A334 - Other Managers in Public Administration Census data for A334 - Other Managers in Public Administration should be used with extreme caution due to a high level of coding error. Coding errors were made in assigning the appropriate management level, e.g., senior manager as opposed to middle manager, and in determining the appropriate area of specialization, e.g., managers in economic and social policy administration have been miscoded to this group. Some non-management occupations have also been miscoded to A334 due to confusion over titles such as program manager, project manager, etc. E037 - Program Officers Unique to Government Census data for E037 - Program Officers Unique to Government should be used with extreme caution due to a high level of coding error. Coding errors were made with respect to the appropriate area of specialization, e.g., economic and social policy researchers and officers have been miscoded to this group. As well, a number of vague responses such as 'civil servant' and 'fonctionnaire' were wrongly assigned this code. G111 - Sales Representatives, Wholesale Trade (Non-Technical) 2001 Census data are showing an under-estimate of persons in G111 - Sales Representatives, Wholesale Trade (Non-Technical). A high number of vague responses have resulted in some of these occupations being miscoded to other sales occupations such as G211 - Retail Salespersons and Sales Clerks and A131 - Sales Marketing and Advertising Managers. G121 - Technical Sales Specialists, Wholesale Trade 2001 Census data are showing an under-estimate of persons in G121 - Technical Sales Specialists, Wholesale Trade. A high number of vague responses have resulted in some of these occupations being miscoded to other sales occupations such as G211 - Retail Salespersons and Sales Clerks and A131 - Sales Marketing and Advertising Managers. G982 - Ironing, Pressing and Finishing Occupations 2001 Census data are showing an over-estimate of persons in G982 - Ironing, Pressing and Finishing Occupations due to miscoding of some workers in pressing occupations in clothing manufacturing to this group. These responses should have been coded to J319 - Other Labourers in Processing, Manufacturing and Utilities. Data users may want to consider excluding persons in industry (NAICS) sub-sector 315 - Clothing Manufacturing from the estimates for G982. H512 - Tailors, Dressmakers, Furriers and Milliners 2001 Census data are showing an over-estimate of persons in H512 - Tailors, Dressmakers, Furriers and Milliners due to miscoding of some responses of 'couturier' and 'seamstress' in clothing manufacturing to this group. J111 - Central Control and Process Operators, Mineral and Metal Processing J121 - Machine Operators, Mineral and Metal Processing Data for J111 - Central Control and Process Operators, Mineral and Metal Processing and J121 - Machine Operators, Mineral and Metal Processing should be used with caution. There is some overlap of responses coded to these two groups as respondents do not always provide enough information to allow coders to distinguish between them. J113 - Pulping Control Operators J142 - Pulp Mill Machine Operators Data for J113 - Pulping Control Operators and J142 - Pulp Mill Machine Operators should be used with caution. There is some overlap of responses coded to these two groups as respondents do not always provide enough information to allow coders to distinguish between them. J114 - Papermaking and Coating Control Operators J143 - Papermaking and Finishing Machine Operators Data for J114 - Papermaking and Coating Control Operators and J143 - Papermaking and Finishing Machine Operators should be used with caution. There is some overlap of responses coded to these two groups as respondents do not always provide enough information to allow coders to distinguish between them. J319 - Other Labourers in Processing, Manufacturing and Utilities 2001 Census data are showing an under-estimate of persons in J319 - Other Labourers in Processing, Manufacturing and Utilities due to miscoding of some workers in pressing occupations in clothing manufacturing to G982 - Ironing, Pressing and Finishing Occupations.

The variable usually relates to the individual's job in the week prior to enumeration. However, if the person did not work during that week but had worked at some time since January 1, 2000, the information relates to the job held longest during that period. Persons who use more than one mode of transportation are asked to identify the single mode they use for most of the travel distance.

Average Income of Individuals - Average income of individuals refers to the weighted mean total income of individuals 15 years of age and over who reported income for 2000. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of individuals (e.g. males 45 to 54 years of age) by the number of individuals with income in that group. This concept and procedure applies to total income, employment income, wages and salaries, and any other component of income. Median Income of Individuals - The median income of a specified group of income recipients is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves, i.e. the incomes of the first half of individuals are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median income is calculated from the unrounded number of individuals (e.g. males 45 to 54 years of age) with income in that group. This concept and procedure applies to total income, employment income, wages and salaries, and any other component of income. Standard Error of Average Income - Refers to the estimated standard error of average income for an income size distribution. If interpreted as shown below, it serves as a rough indicator of the precision of the corresponding estimate of average income. For about 68% of the samples which could be selected from the sample frame, the difference between the sample estimate of average income and the corresponding figure based on complete enumeration would be less than one standard error. For about 95% of the possible samples, the difference would be less than two standard errors and, in about 99% of the samples, the difference would be approximately two and one half standard errors. This concept and procedure applies to total income, employment income, wages and salaries, and any other component of income. Sex - Refers to the gender of the respondent. Work Activity in 2000 - Refers to the number of weeks in which a person worked for pay or in self-employment in 2000 at all jobs held, even if only for a few hours, and whether these weeks were mostly full time (30 hours or more per week) or mostly part time (1 to 29 hours per week). The term full-year full-time workers refers to persons 15 years of age and over who worked 49-52 weeks (mostly full time) in 2000 for pay or in self-employment.
1398. Includes persons who did not work in 2000 but reported employment income.

1425. Total Income - Refers to the total money income received from the following sources during calendar year 2000 by persons 15 years of age and over: - wages and salaries (total); - net farm income; - net non-farm income from unincorporated business and/or professional practice; - Canada Child Tax benefits; - Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement; - benefits from Canada or Quebec Pension Plan; - benefits from Employment Insurance; - other income from government sources; - dividends, interest on bonds, deposits and savings certificates, and other investment income; - retirement pensions, superannuation and annuities, including those from RRSPs and RRIFs; - other money income. Receipts Not Counted as Income - The income concept excluded gambling gains and losses, lottery prizes, money inherited during the year in a lump sum, capital gains or losses, receipts from the sale of property, income tax refunds, loan payments received, lump-sum settlements of insurance policies, rebates received on property taxes, refunds of pension contributions, as well as all income 'in kind', such as free meals and living accommodations, or agricultural products produced and consumed on the farm. Average Income of Individuals - Average income of individuals refers to the weighted mean total income of individuals 15 years of age and over who reported income for 2000. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of individuals (e.g. males 45 to 54 years of age) by the number of individuals with income in that group. Average and median incomes and standard errors for average income of individuals will be calculated for those individuals who are at least 15 years of age and who have an income (positive or negative). For all other universes (e.g. census families or private households), these statistics will be calculated over all units, whether or not they reported any income. Median Income of Individuals - The median income of a specified group of income recipients is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves, i.e. the incomes of the first half of individuals are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median income is calculated from the unrounded number of individuals (e.g. males 45 to 54 years of age) with income in that group. Average and median incomes and standard errors for average income of individuals will be calculated for those individuals who are at least 15 years of age and who have an income (positive or negative). For all other universes (e.g. census families or private households), these statistics will be calculated over all units, whether or not they reported any income. Standard Error of Average Income - Refers to the estimated standard error of average income for an income size distribution. If interpreted as shown below, it serves as a rough indicator of the precision of the corresponding estimate of average income.

Average Income of Census Families and Non-family Persons 15 Years of Age and Over - Average census family income refers to the weighted mean total income of census families or non-family persons in 2000. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of families (e.g., husband-wife families with working wives) or non-family persons by the number of families or non-family persons in that respective group, whether or not they reported income. Similarly, the average income of a group of non-family persons is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of the specified group by the number of all non-family persons 15 years of age and over in the group, whether or not they reported income. Median Income of Census Families and Non-family Persons 15 Years of Age and Over - The median income of a specified group of census families or non-family persons 15 years of age and over is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves. That is, the incomes of the first half of the families or non-family persons are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median incomes of census families and non-family persons are normally calculated for all units in the specified group, whether or not they reported income. Standard Error of Average Income - Refers to the estimated standard error of average income for an income size distribution.

Census Family Status Part A - Plain Language Definition Classification of persons according to whether or not they are members of a census family and the status they have in the census family (a census family is composed of a married couple or two persons living common-law, with or without children, or of a lone parent living with at least one child in the same dwelling). A person can be a spouse, a common-law partner, a lone parent, a child or a non-family person. Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the classification of the population according to whether or not the persons are members of a census family. Family persons refer to household members who belong to a census family. They, in turn, are further classified as follows: Spouses refer to persons of opposite sex who are legally married to each other and living in the same dwelling. Common-law partners are two persons of opposite sex or of the same sex who are not legally married to each other, but live together as a couple in the same dwelling. Lone parent refers to a mother or a father, with no spouse or common-law partner present, living in a dwelling with one or more children. Children refer to blood, step- or adopted sons and daughters (regardless of age or marital status) who are living in the same dwelling as their parent(s), as well as grandchildren in households where there are no parents present.

In addition, those sons and daughters who do not live in the same dwelling as their parent(s) are not considered members of the census family of their parent(s). The category of children can be further distinguished as follows: Never-married sons and/or daughters in a census family, as used in censuses prior to 2001. Other sons and/or daughters in a census family who would not have been included in the census family of their parents according to the previous concept. Grandchildren living in the same household as their grandparent(s), with no parents present. Non-family persons refer to household members who do not belong to a census family. They may be related to Person 1 (e.g. Person 1's sister, brother-in-law, cousin, grandparent), or unrelated to Person 1 (e.g. lodger, room-mate, employee). A person living alone is always a non-family person.

Average Income of Census Families and Non-family Persons 15 Years of Age and Over - Average census family income refers to the weighted mean total income of census families or non-family persons in 2000. Average income is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of a specified group of families (e.g., husband-wife families with working wives) or non-family persons by the number of families or non-family persons in that respective group, whether or not they reported income. Similarly, the average income of a group of non-family persons is calculated from unrounded data by dividing the aggregate income of the specified group by the number of all non-family persons 15 years of age and over in the group, whether or not they reported income. Median Income of Census Families and Non-family Persons 15 Years of Age and Over - The median income of a specified group of census families or non-family persons 15 years of age and over is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves.

Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the classification of the population according to whether or not the persons are members of a census family. Family persons refer to household members who belong to a census family. They, in turn, are further classified as follows: Spouses refer to persons of opposite sex who are legally married to each other and living in the same dwelling. Common-law partners are two persons of opposite sex or of the same sex who are not legally married to each other, but live together as a couple in the same dwelling. Lone parent refers to a mother or a father, with no spouse or common-law partner present, living in a dwelling with one or more children.

A couple living common-law may be of opposite or same sex. 'Children' in a census family include grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present.
1609. 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. The economic family concept requires only that family members be related by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption. By contrast, the census family concept requires that family members be either a male or female spouse, a male or female common-law partner, a male or female lone parent, or a child with a parent present. The concept of economic family may therefore refer to a larger group of persons than does the census family concept. For example, a widowed mother living with her married son and daughter-in-law would be treated as a non-family person under the definition of a census family. That same person would, however, be counted as a member of an economic family along with her son and daughter-in-law. Two or more related census families living together also constitute one economic family as, for example, a man and his wife living with their married son and daughter-in-law. Two or more brothers or sisters living together, apart from their parents, will form an economic family, but not a census family, since they do not meet the requirements for the latter. All census family persons are economic family persons. The economic family and its associated classifications and variables are derived according to the responses to the questions on sex, date of birth, marital status, common-law status, and relationship to Person 1. In addition, consideration is given to the order in which household members are listed on the questionnaire. Note that as of 2001, same-sex partners are considered to be common-law partners. Thus they are considered related and members of the same economic family.
1609. Incidence of Low Income Part A - Plain Language Definition Percentage of economic families or unattached individuals who spend 20% more than average on food, shelter and clothing. Part B - Detailed Definition The incidence of low income is the proportion or percentage of economic families or unattached individuals in a given classification below the low income cut-offs. These incidence rates are calculated from unrounded estimates of economic families and unattached individuals 15 years of age and over. Income Status Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the position of an economic family or an unattached individual 15 years of age and over in relation to Statistics Canada's low income cut-offs (LICOs). Low Income Cut-offs (LICOs) Part A - Plain Language Definition Income levels at which families or unattached individuals spend 20% more than average on food, shelter and clothing. Part B - Detailed Definition Measures of low income known as low income cut-offs (LICOs) were first introduced in Canada in 1968 based on 1961 Census income data and 1959 family expenditure patterns. At that time, expenditure patterns indicated that Canadian families spent about 50% of their total income on food, shelter and clothing. It was arbitrarily estimated that families spending 70% or more of their income (20 percentage points more than the average) on these basic necessities would be in 'straitened' circumstances. With this assumption, low income cut-off points were set for five different sizes of families. Subsequent to these initial cut-offs, revised low income cut-offs were established based on national family expenditure data from 1969, 1978, 1986 and 1992. These data indicated that Canadian families spent, on average, 42% in 1969, 38.5% in 1978, 36.2% in 1986 and 34.7% in 1992 of their total income on basic necessities. Since 1992, data from the expenditure survey have indicated that this proportion has remained fairly stable. By adding the original difference of 20 percentage points to the basic level of expenditure on necessities, new low income cut-offs were set at income levels differentiated by family size and degree of urbanization. Since 1992, these cut-offs have been updated yearly by changes in the consumer price index.

Median Income of Households - The median income of a specified group of households is that amount which divides their income size distribution into two halves. That is, the incomes of the first half of households are below the median, while those of the second half are above the median. Median incomes of households are normally calculated for all units in the specified group, whether or not they reported income. Standard Error of Average Income - Refers to the estimated standard error of average income for an income size distribution. If interpreted as shown below, it serves as a rough indicator of the precision of the corresponding estimate of average income. For about 68% of the samples which could be selected from the sample frame, the difference between the sample estimate of average income and the corresponding figure based on complete enumeration would be less than one standard error. For about 95% of the possible samples, the difference would be less than two standard errors and, in about 99% of the samples, the difference would be approximately two and a half standard errors. Private Household - Refers to a person or a group of persons (other than foreign residents) who occupy a private dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. Household Size - Refers to the number of persons in a private household. Collective households and households outside Canada were not taken into account in the calculations used to establish household size.
1621. Household Part A - Plain Language Definition Not applicable Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to a person or a group of persons (other than foreign residents), who occupy the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. It may consist of a family group (census family) with or without other non-family persons, of two or more families sharing a dwelling, of a group of unrelated persons, or of one person living alone. Household members who are temporarily absent on Census Day (e.g. temporary residents elsewhere) are considered as part of their usual household. For census purposes, every person is a member of one and only one household. Unless otherwise specified, all data in household reports are for private households only. Households are classified into three groups: private households, collective households and households outside Canada. Household Type Part A - Plain Language Definition Category to which a person living alone or a group of persons occupying the same dwelling belong. There are two categories: non-family households and family households. A non-family household consists either of one person living alone or of two or more persons who share a dwelling, but do not constitute a family (e.g. a couple with or without children). Family households are divided into two subcategories: one-family households and multiple-family households. A one-family household consists of a single family (e.g. a couple with or without children). A multiple-family household is made up of two or more families occupying the same dwelling. Part B - Detailed Definition Refers to the basic division of private households into family and non-family households. Family household refers to a household that contains at least one census family, that is, a married couple with or without children, or a couple living common-law with or without children, or a lone parent living with one or more children (lone-parent family). One-family household refers to a single census family (with or without other non-family persons) that occupies a private dwelling. Multiple-family household refers to a household in which two or more census families (with or without additional non-family persons) occupy the same private dwelling. Non-family household refers to either one person living alone in a private dwelling or to a group of two or more people who share a private dwelling, but who do not constitute a census family.
1666. Includes households in tenant-occupied, non-farm, non-reserve dwellings with household income greater than $0 in 2000 (i.e. excludes negative or zero household income).

1668. Includes households in tenant-occupied, non-farm, non-reserve dwellings with household income greater than $0 in 2000 (i.e. excludes negative or zero household income).
1668. It should be noted that not all households spending 30% or more of incomes on shelter costs are necessarily experiencing housing affordability problems. This is particularly true of households with high incomes. There are also other households who choose to spend more on shelter than on other goods. Nevertheless, the allocation of 30% or more of a household's income to housing expenses provides a useful benchmark for assessing trends in housing affordability. The relatively high shelter cost to household income ratios for some households may have resulted from the difference in the reference period for shelter cost and household income data. The reference period for shelter cost data (gross rent for tenants, and owner's major payments for owners) is 2001, while household income is reported for the year 2000. As well, for some households the 2000 household income may represent income for only part of a year.
