It shows that the median family income in Canada is $76,000 -- generally higher in the West than the East -- while the median individual income is just $27,600. That means just as many individuals earn less than $27,600 as earn more.
The richest 10 per cent of individuals are making more than $80,400. And the very rich -- the 272,600 individuals that make up the top one per cent -- are all making more than $191,100.

median, 收入低于和高于这个数的人一样多，各50%，大部分人会感觉这个数字比较真实。

average， 收入低于这个数值的人数，有可能高达70%，高于这个数的有可能只有30%上下，很多人会觉的“被平均”，“拖后腿”。
