For more information on the interpretation of the data please see the notes below.

Notes:

These notes apply to both the Graph and the Data Table.
  • Indicator Definition: Reported living in a household which is below affordability standard (more than 30% of total before-tax household income spent on shelter costs)
  • Cells highlighted in yellow should be interpreted with caution, as the measure itself or at least one of the components used to calculate the value has a coefficient of variation between 16.6 to 33.3%.
  • Cells highlighted in red indicate that values have been suppressed because the measure itself or at least one of the components used to calculate the value has a coefficient of variation greater than 33.3%, a small numerator (<10), small denominator (<20), or empty age-standardization groups.
  • Cells highlighted in blue indicate that values have been suppressed because their interpretation is complex or not possible.
  • A dash (-) symbol indicates that the value was suppressed for one of the reasons described above, or that the calculation was not applicable.
  • When an indicator and a stratifier are crossed, the age interval is limited to that available in both the indicator and the stratifier.
  • Data are age-standardized to the 2016 Canadian population, using the following age groups: 1-14, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+ years.
