[OC] Map of Average Income across Canada in 2022

7 comments

1. Source: Statistics Canada T1FF data for 2022

   Tools used: Excel for data cleanup, QGIS for mapping, and PowerPoint for labelling.

   I wanted to see how the average income of those who filed taxes (would include those with no employment income) varied across Canada so I made a map of it using the latest data from 2022 tax filer records.

2. I assume this is in Canadian dollars? Very interesting data, thank you

3. It never occurred to me that Calgary and Edmonton would be so divergent — in my (obviously ignorant) mind I thought it would be something more like San Jose/San Francisco with average income is very close together.

4. Proximity to the US increases income

   JOOOOOIIINNNN UUUSSSSSSSSS 🦅🎇🔥🇺🇸🧨🔫

5. I wonder why QC are so high

6. It’d be interesting to apply an age cut to exclude likely retirees.

7. I’ve lived most of my life near the border love Canada.

   On my last visit just about a month ago I got curious enough to look at jobs and housing in BC for current political reasons and I just couldn’t figure out how people make it work there. 

   I found a few very similar jobs and they paid significantly less in CAD than I make in USD and the housing prices were every bit as much when converted.

   I just couldn’t figure it out. Like I’m in a HCOL area in the US and yeah it’s shit, but it seemed so much harder there even with factoring things like universal healthcare and better benefits in. 

   Everyone is driving brand new luxury cars too. Boggles my mind. If Canada would take me I’d still seriously consider it because I love it there so much, but yeah… It seems like it’s real difficult.
