Median Income Explorer

This map visualizes various median income measures for census regions in Canada. Select the income statistic that is relevant to the question you are interested in. Compare this to the map of various average income metrics. Zoom out to get statistics for higher aggregation levels, zoom in for a finer geographic split. Especially when comparing incomes across different regions one should pay careful attention the selection of income statistics. For example, the City of Vancouver has a median household total income of $65,327, whereas the City of Toronto sits slightly higher at $65,829. But that's entirely due to the different household composition with Vancouver skewing higher on the ratio of one-person households. Vancouver has higher income when comparing separately for both one-person ($38,449 vs $38,018) and two-and-more-person ($89,207 vs $82,908) households.
