Characteristics of individuals, tax filers and dependants by sex, marital status and age groups

• Marital status

The marital status “Common Law” is reported in this table. This is as a result of the Canada Revenue Agency providing tax filers with a separate box permitting common-law couples to indicate their marital status. For data prior to 1992, it is undetermined where common-law couples would have reported their marital status on the individual income tax return

For data prior to 1992, demographic characteristics are provided for tax filers only.
