1. Median income figures are from the 2006 Census of Population, and refer to 2005 calendar year.
2. Includes cases whose only beneficiary is a child and excludes cases with no monthly payments due.
3. Percentage based on cases with a regular payment due in March.
4. Percentage based on cases with a regular payment due in March. A case can have arrears from a missed payment either in March or in a earlier month. Many cases also enrol with existing arrears accumulated before enrolment in the MEP.
5. Cases administered include all cases enrolled for all, or part of, 2009/2010. Location of payors based on the last community or region where the payor was known to reside.
6. Collection rate is the total amount received during the fiscal year (April 1 2009 to March 31 2010) divided by the total amount due. Some arrears payments received in the fiscal year pay down arrears that accrued before the fiscal year. Occasionally, these payments can be substantial, and because there is no corresponding payment due transaction, may result in a collection rate that is greater than 100 percent.
7. Includes only cases with a regular amount due every month in 2009/2010, with or without payment received in the fiscal year. In most jurisdictions, this is roughly 60% of cases administered.
8. An area consisting of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A census metropolitan area must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. A census agglomeration must have an urban core population of at least 10,000.
9. New Brunswick part only.
10. An economic region (ER) is a grouping of complete census divisions created as a standard geographical unit for analysis of regional economic activity. For the purpose of this article, all ERs cover only areas outside of census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations.
Note: Excludes Non-ISO and ISO-out cases where the location of the recipient is unknown or the recipient resides outside of the province/territory.
