Description

An updated version of this table is available here, including counts of persons with activity limitations and counts of persons in low income calculated using the 2018 rebased Market Basket Measure.

The Community Poverty Project tables are custom tabulations created for the Community Data Program. The tables cross low income status variables with numerous demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.  The Community Poverty Project came out of the Canadian Council on Social Development's Urban Poverty Project.  

CPP-01 is ordered as a sort of summary table that crosses the low income lines with a large number of age groups, as well as a large 'Selected cultural and demographic characteristics' dimension (Aboriginal identity status, visible minority status, immigrant status, mobility status). The CDP had hoped to include activity limitations/difficulties variables in the 'Selected characteristics' dimension, however the Disability Screening Questions data were delayed. CPP-01 is considered a high priority table and was ordered without the activity limitations/difficulties dimension.

The custom geographies for this table are divided into groups. Click here to see the geographies contained within each of these groups.
