Spending patterns in Canada

1998

Spending patterns in Canada presents statistical highlights and key tables from the annual Survey of Household Spending (which replaces the Family Expenditure Survey and the Household Facilities and Equipment Survey). You'll find, for example, how Canadian households spend their money, what appliances, communications or home entertainment equipment they have. You'll also discover more about the characteristics of Canadian homes - how many rooms they have, how they are heated, or whether they are in good repair.

The survey collects information about expenditures by households and families in Canada on a wide variety of goods and services - from food and shelter to pet expenses and movie admissions. It also collects data about dwelling characteristics, household appliances, home entertainment and communications equipment, and vehicles.

Spending Patterns in Canada, 1998 (62-202-XIE, $34; 62-202-XPE, $45) is now available. See How to order products.
