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.

As for the other end of the spectrum, the bottom 10 per cent of income earners tend to live in cities, especially Montreal. Low-income neighbourhoods are known for their high proportions of visible minorities and recent immigrants, and a preponderance of single parents.
While the national median annual income for a full-time worker is $50,699, the median for a visible-minority worker is just $45,128. For a First Nations full-time worker, the median income is $41,684.
The highest income in Canada is found in the area around Fort McMurray in the Alberta oilsands, where median family income is $186,782.

我真怀疑有有多少人能理解：MEDIAN INCOME AND AVERAGE INCOME?

由低到高排序，中间值为MEDIAN（中文叫中值）。平均值谁都能理解。
8 r" \& h* Q/ ]: {. `( Z1 w, b１万，２万，３万，８万，１８万：MEDIAN 为３万，AVERAGE为6.4万。
低于MEDIAN 是比５０％的人少。高于MEDIAN，则比５０％ 的人高。AVERAGE 则不一定。平均二字更具蒙蔽性。
