Income data has been used extensively by researchers to better understand the economic well-being of Canadians. To meet the needs of these users, Statistics Canada has produced numerous cross-sectional public use microdata files (PUMFs). PUMFs for the Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF) were released until reference year 1997. With the end of the SCF, PUMFs for the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) were produced for reference years 1996 to 2011. The Canadian Income Survey (CIS) was introduced for the 2012 reference year. The CIS is a cross-sectional survey developed to provide information on the income and income sources of Canadians, with their individual and household characteristics. It is a short questionnaire which is asked of a sub-sample of respondents to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), gathering information on labour market activity, school attendance, support payments, child care expenses, inter-household transfers, personal income, food security and characteristics and costs of housing. The CIS content is supplemented with information from the LFS on individual and household characteristics (e.g. age, educational attainment, main job characteristics, and family type) and with tax data for income and income sources (Statistics Canada, 2021). The CIS PUMF is an anonymized microdata file that contains only a subset of variables that are available on the CIS master file. Various techniques have been employed to protect CIS respondents against the risk of disclosure.

This statistic shows the income distribution of Canadians for 2020, distinguished by level of income. In 2020, about 302,050 Canadians had an income of 250,000 Canadian dollars or more.

This table presents income shares, thresholds, tax shares, and total counts of individual Canadian tax filers, with a focus on high income individuals (95% income threshold, 99% threshold, etc.). Income thresholds are based on national threshold values, regardless of selected geography; for example, the number of Nova Scotians in the top 1% will be calculated as the number of taxfiling Nova Scotians whose total income exceeded the 99% national income threshold. Different definitions of income are available in the table namely market, total, and after-tax income, both with and without capital gains.

In 2023, 25.5 percent of the Canadian population had an annual income of 100,000 Canadian dollars or more. Moreover, some 19 percent had an annual income between 60,000 and 79,999 Canadian dollars, representing the second-largest group.

The CIS (Canadian Income Survey) Dataset contains detailed demographic, economic, and employment-related data of individuals across different provinces in Canada. The dataset is designed to assess key factors affecting income levels, employment history, and financial well-being at an individual level.

🔹 Dataset Overview

Total Variables: 36 (Covering demographic, employment, and financial attributes) Purpose: Used for analyzing income distribution, labor market trends, and economic well-being in Canada. Data Type: A mix of categorical, numerical, and binary data (e.g., Age, Gender, Income, Employment Status). Key Topics Covered: Demographics: Age, Gender, Marital Status, Immigrant Status Education & Employment: Highest Education, Years Worked, Weeks Employed Financial Data: Income after tax, Capital Gains, Pension, Investments Social Benefits: Childcare Benefits, Employment Insurance, Government Assistance

🔹 Significance of the Dataset ✔ Helps policymakers understand income inequality and poverty levels. ✔ Used for research on employment patterns and financial security. ✔ Supports decision-making on government subsidies and social welfare programs.

This statistic shows the median annual total income of an individual in Canada from 2000 to 2022, distinguished by gender. In 2022, the median annual income for women tax filers stood at 37,690 Canadian dollars.

The 'Canada Per Capita Income' dataset offers a comprehensive collection of data showcasing the average income per person in Canada across numerous years. Its primary objective is to furnish valuable insights into the economic well-being and financial advancement of the Canadian populace. It serves as an invaluable resource for economists, researchers, policymakers, and analysts, facilitating the examination of income distribution trends, evaluation of the effects of economic policies, and the identification of wealth disparities.

The dataset draws its information from dependable and authoritative sources, primarily the official statistical agencies of the Canadian government, notably Statistics Canada. These agencies routinely gather and disseminate data on various economic indicators, including per capita income, through a variety of means such as surveys, censuses, and economic reports.

The motivation behind the creation of this dataset stems from the critical importance of per capita income as a fundamental metric for assessing a nation's standard of living and economic progress. By presenting historical data, this dataset empowers users to monitor Canada's economic journey, discern patterns of growth or decline, and delve into the factors influencing shifts in individual income levels. A thorough understanding of this dataset is crucial in shaping evidence-based policies that promote fair economic opportunities and overall prosperity for all members of the Canadian population.
