Remarks:

'Value of dwelling' refers to the value of the entire dwelling, including the value of the land it is on and of any other structure, such as a garage, which is on the property. If the dwelling is located in a building which contains several dwellings, or a combination of residential and business premises, all of which the household owns, the value is estimated as a portion of the market value that applies only to the dwelling in which the household resides.

To be consistent with changes introduced in the 1986 Census to the 'tenure' classification of dwellings on reserves, for the 2006, 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses and in all 2006 Census reports, the variable 'value of dwelling' refers to non-reserve dwellings only.
