The household incomes chart shows how many household fall in each of the income brackets specified by Statistics Canada.

This dataset includes Statistics Canada table 46-10-0049-01, titled “Total family income and owner characteristics at the residential property level”.

The dataset has been split up into three tables:
Table A includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by family type (lone-parent family, couple family, and other census family).
Table B includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by pension income categories (eg. whether or not the owner of the property is receiving a pension).
Table C includes includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by residency participation types (eg. whether the property is owned by resident owners only or a mix of resident and non-resident owners).

The table has been edited to include only geographies from British Columbia and to have the unique ID numbers added to the Census Subdivisions and Census Metropolitan Areas. The table is available in CSV and Excel Workbook format. Definitions and notes are included at the bottom of the spreadsheet.
