Survey of Household Spending, 2006 [Canada] [Excel]

The Survey of Household Spending provides detailed information on household expenditures, dwelling characteristics, and ownership of household equipment. Beginning with the 2006 reference year, data are collected during a personal interview using a computer assisted personal interview (CAPI) questionnaire on the laptop between January 1 and April 21, 2007. Information was gathered about the spending habits, dwelling characteristics and household equipment of Canadian households during 2006. The survey covered private households in the 10 provinces and in the three northern territories. (In order to reduce response burden for northern households, the SHS is conducted in the north only every second year, starting with 1999.) The Survey of Household Spending (first conducted for the 1997 reference year) includes most of the content from the former Family Expenditure Survey and the Household Facilities and Equipment Survey. Detailed information was collected about expenditures for consumer goods and services, changes in assets, mortgages and other loans, and annual income. This information was collected for the calendar year 2006 (the survey reference year). 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). This type of information was collected as of December 31st of the reference year. For current Survey of Household Spending data refer to Statistics Canada Access data here

家庭支出调查（Survey of Household Spending）提供加拿大家庭支出、住宅特征及家用设备保有情况的详细信息。自2006年基准年起，相关数据于2007年1月1日至4月21日期间，通过笔记本电脑上的计算机辅助个人访谈（CAPI）问卷进行面对面采集。本次调研收集了2006年加拿大家庭的消费习惯、住宅特征及家用设备相关信息，覆盖加拿大10个省份与3个北部地区的私人家庭。（为减轻北部家庭的应答负担，自1999年起，家庭支出调查仅每两年在北部地区开展一次。）家庭支出调查首次基准年为1997年，整合了原《家庭支出调查》与《家庭设施与设备调查》的大部分内容。调研收集了消费品及服务支出、资产变动、抵押贷款及其他贷款、年度收入等详细信息，上述统计周期均为2006日历年（即本次调查基准年）。调研同时收集了住宅特征（如供暖设备类型与使用年限）及家用设备（如家用电器、通信设备及车辆）相关信息，此类信息的统计时点为基准年的12月31日。如需获取最新家庭支出调查数据，请参阅加拿大统计局数据访问页面。
