Income sources of person, type

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Income sources' refers to those income sources that make up an individual's total income.

'Person' refers to an individual and is the unit of analysis for most social statistics programmes.

Value (owner estimated, market) of private dwelling, range

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Value (owner estimated, market)' refers to the dollar amount expected by the owner if the asset were to be sold.

In the context of dwelling, it refers to the value of the entire dwelling, including the value of the land it is on and of any other structure, such as a garage, which is on the property. If the dwelling is located in a building which contains several dwellings, or a combination of residential and business premises, all of which the household owns, the value is estimated as a portion of the market value that applies only to the dwelling in which the household resides.

Usage: Though "value (owner estimate, market)" applies to dwellings, a person or private household can be assigned such a value based on the owner-estimated market value of the dwelling in which the person or household usually resides.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Income status of person, level

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Income status' refers to the position of a person or household's income in relation to a low income line.

Note: In the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), low-income statistics are presented based on the after-tax low-income measure (LIM-AT). This measure is not related to the low-income cut-offs (LICO) presented in the 2006 Census and prevalence rates are conceptually not comparable.

'Person' refers to an individual and is the unit of analysis for most social statistics programmes.

Period of construction of private dwelling, category

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Period of construction' refers to the period in time during which the building or dwelling was originally constructed.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Usage: Though 'period of construction' applies to dwellings, a person or private household can be assigned a period of construction classification based on the dwelling in which the person or household usually resides.

Structural type of private dwelling, type

The data for this variable are reported using the following classification(s) and/or list(s):

'Structural type' refers to the structural characteristics and/or dwelling configuration, that is, whether the dwelling is a single-detached house, an apartment in a high-rise building, a row house, a mobile home, etc.

'Private dwelling' refers to a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance either from outside the building or from a common hall, lobby, vestibule or stairway inside the building. The entrance to the dwelling must be one that can be used without passing through the living quarters of some other person or group of persons.

Usage: Though "structural type" applies to dwellings, a person or private household can be assigned a structural type of dwelling classification based on the dwelling in which the person or household usually resides.
