Note:
Income group data represents the number of persons 15 years of age or older by total population, and by the non-disabled and disabled populations.
Employment income is paid employment, i.e. wages and salaries, and self-employment (including loss).
Employment income represents taxation years, 2000 (2001) and 2005 (2006).
Year 2000 income data was converted to 2005 dollars, based on annual CPI indexes.
The sum of values for each category may differ from the total due to rounding.
