This service shows the median household after-tax income in 2015 for Canada, by 2016 census division. The data is from the Census Profile, Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 98-316-X2016001.

After-tax income - refers to total income less income taxes of the statistical unit during a specified reference period (for additional information refer to Total Income – 2016 Census Dictionary and After-tax Income – 2016 Census Dictionary). The median income of a specified group is the amount that divides the income distribution of that group into two halves.

Census division (CD) is the general term for provincially legislated areas (such as county, municipalité régionale de comté and regional district) or their equivalents. In other provinces and the territories where laws do not provide for such areas, Statistics Canada defines equivalent areas for statistical reporting purposes in cooperation with these provinces and territories. Census divisions are intermediate geographic areas between the province/territory level and the municipality (census subdivision).

To have a cartographic representation of the ecumene with this socio-economic indicator, it is recommended to add as the first layer, the “NRCan - 2016 population ecumene by census division” web service, accessible in the data resources section below.

Besides the variable described here, the dataset contains the id, name, type, province, population, land area and the number of private households for each census division.

About this dataset

This dataset provides a unique insight into the US income patterns in 2013, by zip code. With this data, you can explore how taxes and adjusted gross income (AGI) vary according to geographic area. The data includes total and average incomes reported, number of returns filed in each ZIP code and taxable incomes reported. This dataset is ideal for studying how economic trends have shifted geographically over time or examining regional economic disparities within the US. In addition, this dataset has been cleansed from data removed from items such as ZIP codes with fewer than 100 returns or those identified as a single building or nonresidential ZIP codes that were categorized as “other” (99999) by the IRS. Finally, dollar amounts for all variables are in thousands for better accuracy
