Individual income
About this topic
Individual income shows the gross amount of personal income usually received by people aged 15 years and over. It includes wages, salaries, government payments, and other income reported in the Census.
This topic is useful for understanding the distribution of personal incomes across an area, but it is a point-in-time snapshot rather than a measure of wealth. The dollar ranges are presented for the latest Census year only, so quartile-based income topics are better for comparing income profiles over time.
Interpretation notes
- Total personal income is weekly gross income usually received by people aged 15 years and over.
- Income is not the same as wealth, and fixed dollar ranges are less reliable for over-time comparison because prices and wages change.
