Canada CA: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data is updated yearly, averaging 33.200 % from Dec 1971 (Median) to 2019, with 43 observations.

Canada CA: Gini Coefficient (GINI Index): World Bank Estimate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.;World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. Data for high-income economies are mostly from the Luxembourg Income Study database.

More information is available on Ottawa Public Health's food insecurity webpage. Accuracy:Food affordability monitoring is done in accordance with the Monitoring Food Affordability Reference Document, 2018 and a standardized protocol developed by Public Health Ontario and Ontario Dietitians in Public Health.The affordability of food in Ottawa is determined by comparing the local cost of a Nutritious Food Basket and average rent prices with different individual and family income levels. Prices from 61 food items are collected from a representative sample of full-selection grocery stores as part of the Nutritious Food Basket survey. Local rental rates are obtained from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Rentals.ca. CMHC data provides the average rent currently paid by tenants for purpose-built rental apartments and townhouses, as well as units in both primary and secondary markets, including basement apartments, condominiums, semi-detached and single-family houses. The Rentals.ca data are based on the asking rates of vacant units only, providing insight into current rental market trends.Update Frequency: AnnualAttributes:Refer to the references found in Document 1 (2024 Income Scenarios using CMHC Housing Cost Data) and Document 2 (2024 Income Scenarios using Rentals.ca Housing Cost Data).Contact: Karina Kwong
