This table contains 692 series, with data for years 1996 - 1996 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and is no longer being released. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (173 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Health and Community Services St. John's Region, Newfoundland and Labrador; Health and Community Services Eastern Region, Newfoundland and Labrador; ...); Characteristics (4 items: Average personal income; Standard error - average personal income; Low 95% confidence interval - average personal income; High 95% confidence interval - average personal income).

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.

The City of Toronto monitors food affordability every year using the Ontario Nutritious Food Basket (ONFB) costing tool. Food prices, among other essential needs, have increased considerably in the last several years. People receiving social assistance and earning low wages often do not have enough money to cover the cost of basic expenses, including food. As such, ONFB data is best used to assess the cost of living in Toronto by analyzing food affordability in relation to income, alongside other local basic expenses. The dataset describes the affordability of food and other basic expenses relative to income for 13 household scenarios. Scenarios were selected to reflect household characteristics that increase the risk of being food insecure, including reliance on social assistance as the main source of income, single-parent households, and rental housing. A median income scenario has also been included as a comparator. Income, including federal and provincial tax benefits, and the cost of four basic living expenses - rent food, childcare, and transportation - are estimated for each scenario. Results show the estimated amount of money remaining at the end of the month for each household. Three versions of the scenarios were created to describe: Income scenarios with subsidies: Subsidies can substantially reduce a households’ monthly expenses. Local subsidies for rent (Rent-Geared-to-Income), childcare (Childcare Fee Subsidy), and transit (Fair Pass) are accounted for in this file. Income scenarios without subsidies + average market rent: In this file, rental costs are based on average market rent, as measured by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Income scenarios without subsidies + current market rent: Rental costs are based on current market rent (as of October 2023), as measured by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). All values are rounded to the nearest dollar.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Toronto. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Toronto, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $44,429 for males and $26,303 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Toronto. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 59 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 41%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of Toronto.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Toronto, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $76,078, while females earned $33,188, leading to a 56% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 44 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This level of income gap emphasizes the urgency to address and rectify this ongoing disparity, where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same employment roles.

Remarkably, across all roles, including non-full-time employment, women displayed a similar gender pay gap percentage. This indicates a consistent gender pay gap scenario across various employment types in Toronto, showcasing a consistent income pattern irrespective of employment status.

Presents socio-demographic information of York Region’s population and is aggregated from Statistics Canada’s Census data. For reference purposes, York Region data is compared to those of Ontario, Canada, the Greater Toronto Area and York Region local municipalities.

This map shows male median income for the male population 15 years of age and over reporting income in 1995 (not including institutional residents). The distribution of incomes above the national male median of $25 270 were most prominent in the urban centres including Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa-Hull, Montréal. However, a number of rural and northern census divisions had incomes above the male national median. These included Prince George in the Fraser Fort-George Regional District and the Peace River Regional District of British Columbia. These high incomes were partially attributed to the higher wages as a result of employment incentives such as living and wage supplements to compensate for the higher costs of living.
