Footnote 1

Dollar amounts have been inflated where necessary to 2015 constant dollars using the consumer price index (CPI).

Footnote 2

Low-income status is determined based on low-income measure, after-tax (LIM-AT). For a one-person household, the after-tax low-income measure (LIM-AT) was $22,460 in 2015. For larger households, this amount was adjusted upward by multiplying it by the square root of household size. Persons in a private household with after-tax income below this threshold were considered to be in low income.

Footnote 3

Fairly equal income where no spouse or partner receives more than 60% of the couple’s total income.

Couples with a negative or zero combined income are considered to have no income, and they are excluded from the calculations of statistics.
