Note: Family units: economic families (a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common law or adoption) and unattached individuals (a person living either alone or with others to whom he or she is unrelated).
1. All family units, whether individuals or families, are ranked from lowest to highest by the value of their net worth. The ranked family units are then divided into five groups, each containing an equal number of family units. Net worth was calculated with employer-sponsored registered pension plans included as an asset.
2. Total family income after tax.
