HOW TO READ THIS

Source and limitations

Wealth measure: Statistics Canada's Survey of Financial Security 2023 assets less debts, measured for persons living alone

  • This is not an all-adult personal net-worth median. Every selected group comprises people living alone.
  • The under-65 and 65-plus published groups are separate. Do not combine their medians or apply either to all ages.
  • Wealth is assets less debts in the 2023 survey; no population percentile is calculated.

Source: Statistics Canada, Survey of Financial Security, 2023, 'The assets, debts and net worth of Canadian families, 2023.' WORTH99 selects and displays the original persons-living-alone age-category medians, unchanged, and calculates optional differences between amounts. Statistics Canada does not endorse WORTH99.
