Annual Income Estimates for Census Families and Individuals [Canada]: T1 Family File [Excel]

This activity is conducted for the development and dissemination of annual small area socio-economic data for Canadians and their families. These data, collected primarily from income tax returns submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), provide income and demographic information for sub-provincial geographic areas. Data are used by municipal, provincial and federal government departments to evaluate programs and support policy recommendations. Data are used in business and educational fields to learn more about the markets targeted. Academics and researchers use the data for analyses of socio-economic conditions. Reference period: Calendar year \"y\" for income; end of calendar year \"y\" for age; point in time (usually April of calendar year \"y+1\") for address information. Collection period: Income tax returns are filed mainly in the spring following the year of reference. The T1 files for income year \"y\" are received from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in January of the year \"y+2\".
