Endnotes: The global non-response rate (GNR) for Chestermere-Strathmore is 3.5%. The GNR combines both complete non-response (household) and partial non- reponse (question) into a single rate. The GNR is an indication of data quality, where a smaller GNR suggest greater accuracy and a lower risk of non- response bias. When the GNR is 50% or above, the data are supressed. The GNR is identified for each region. A higher GNR indicates the need for user caution. Data in this report have been specially tabulated from the Statistic Canada 2016 Census of Canada, by allocation of the Statistics Canada block face reference points to PEDs

(33) Includes all income received as wages, salaries and commissions from paid employment and net self-employment income from farm or non-farm unincorporated business and/or professional practice in the calendar year of 2015.

(35) Total income of all household members, before income taxes and deductions for the calendar year of 2015.

An economic family refers to a group of two or more people who live in the same dwelling and are related by blood, marriage, common-law union, adoption or foster relationship. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. By definition, all people who are members of a census family are also members of an economic family. However, members of an economic family need not be members of the same census family.

(37) The low-income measure after tax (LIM-AT) is a fixed percentage (50%) of median-adjusted after-tax income of households. The household after-tax income is adjusted to take economies of scale into account. The adjustment for different household sizes reflects the fact that a household's needs increase, but at a decreasing rate, as the number of members increases. LIM-AT is not related or comparable to the low-income cut-offs (LICO) in the 2006 Census. Direct comparisons with low-income estimates from other sources is discouraged; however, it is appropriate to compare this low-income data for the 87 PEDs presented here.

(38) The income situation in relation to a specific low-income line, with those below the line considered to be in low income. Low income concepts are not applied in certain areas based on census subdivision types (i.e. Indian reserves). Substantial in-kind transfers (i.e. subsidized and/or band housing), barter economies and/or consumption from hunting, farming or fishing, could make the interpretation of low income statistics difficult in these cases.
