Income Trends in Canada is an extensive collection of income statistics,
covering topics such as income distribution, income tax, government
transfers, and low income. The data are drawn from two household
surveys: the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) and the Survey
of Consumer Finances (SCF). Data since 1996 are taken from SLID, while
historical data prior to 1996 are drawn from the SCF. 

Income Trends in Canada provides a complete list of the tables and
directions for getting started. It also contains background information
on the survey, its content and methodology, and other SLID data products
and services 

In addition to provincial detail, many of the tables present estimates
for the 15 largest Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs), as follows:
Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa-Gatineau, Toronto,
St.-Catharines-Niagara, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Windsor, Winnipeg,
Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Victoria. Due to sample size
limitations and sampling variability, estimates for urban areas are less
reliable and are subject to larger errors than provincial and national
estimates. Given the variability of the annual estimates, users are
cautioned against drawing conclusions from single year-to-year
comparisons alone.
 
Income Trends in Canada uses the Beyond 20/20 Browser software for
accessing and manipulating tables.
