Survey of Household Spending, 2009 [Canada] [Excel]

<p>The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment.</p> <p>Conducted since 1997, the Survey of Household Spending integrates most of the content found in the Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX) (1969-1996) and the Household Facilities and Equipment Survey (apart of the Survey of Consumer Finances) (1973-1998). Many data from these two surveys are comparable to the Survey of Household Spending data. However, some differences related to methodology, to data quality and to definitions must be considered before comparing these data. Detailed information was collected about expenditures for consumer goods and services, changes in assets, mortgages and other loans, and annual income. Information was also collected about dwelling characteristics (e.g., type and age of heating equipment) and household equipment (e.g., appliances, communications equipment, and vehicles).</p> <p>For current Survey of Household Spending data refer to <a href="https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/surveys/3508" target="_blank">Statistics Canada</a></p> <p><a href="http://odesi.scholarsportal.info/documentation/CONSUM/SHS/2009/SHS_2009_Standard_Tables.html" target="_blank">Access data here</a></p>
