Footnotes

Footnote 1

Refers to the proportion of average monthly 2005 total household income which is spent on owner's major payments.

The relatively high shelter costs to household income ratios for some households may have resulted from the difference in the reference period for shelter costs and household income data. The reference period for shelter costs data is 2006, while household income is reported for the year 2005. As well, for some households, the 2005 household income may represent income for only part of the year.
