Survey of household spending data (2011 edition)

Warning

Revision of content and concepts for 2010 edition (and followers) of SHS

To reduce response burden, some data previously collected in the Survey of Household Spending (SHS) or the Food Expenditure Survey (FES) are excluded. Removed from the SHS questionnaire are questions on household equipment. Data are no longer available on heating equipment characteristics, the number of rooms in the home and the presence of household appliances such as a dishwasher or microwave. Several variables concerning the household’s assets and liabilities are also excluded.

For the 2011 edition, only data on household characteristics are available on this page. Household spending data are available in CANSIM: CANSIM table203-0021 to 203-0028, CANSIM table203-0030 and CANSIM table203-0031.
