... The newly released numbers from the 2011 census reveal a wide, demographic chasm between the nation’s poor — those whose annual income falls well below the $27,000 median figure for an individual— and the richest in Canada....
Toronto was the most costly city to maintain a home, at $1,366 a month, while Trois-Rivières, Que., was the cheapest at $697.
Toronto is also home to huge disparity in wealth, as well as many of the people in the lowest brackets, who rely on government more than middle- or top- earners do for their income. Employment is the major source of income, for instance, for the top half of the population, representing between 55 to 84 per cent of the money coming into the house. For people in the lower brackets, employment only accounts for 40 per cent of their total income.
