After-tax household income in 2010. The after-tax low-income measure (LIM-AT) is not related to the
low-income cut-offs (LICO) presented in the 2006 Census and prevalence rates are not comparable.
Direct comparisons with low-income estimates from other surveys, administrative programs or previous
censuses are not advisable. The prevalence rates observed in the 2011 NHS at the national level are
about 1 to 2 pp higher than those for similar concepts in other programs. However, comparisons
within the NHS for different geographic areas or demographic groups, as presented here, are valid.

Conceptual consistency:
Measure description:
The boundaries of Provincial Electoral Divisions are taken from Statistics Canada. Digital boundary file
is portrayed in latitude and longitude coordinates (North American Datum of 1983). Logical consistency
describes the fidelity of relationships encoded in the data structure of the digital spatial data. In
the boundary file, the geographic areas have been verified to have a unique identifier that is valid for
the 2011 Census.

Measure description:
The Provincial Electoral Divisions boundaries were extracted from Federal Electoral District boundary
file. The Federal Electoral District boundaries used from the 2011 Census are based on the 2003
Representation Order. The Federal Electoral District boundary files portray the federal electoral

Quantitative attribute accuracy:
Measure description:
Attribute accuracy refers to the accuracy of the quantitative and qualitative information attached to each
feature. The attributes are sourced from Statistics Canada's Spatial Data Infrastructure. The names and
types of administrative geographic areas have been updated for the 2011 Census using source materials
from provincial and territorial authorities. The attribute data asscociated with the polygons in the
boundary files were verified against the data in the Spatial Data Infrastructure and found to be accurate.
Result:

Report:
Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description:
Positional accuracy refers to the absolute and relative accuracy of the positions of geographic features.
Absolute accuracy is the closeness of the coordinate values in a dataset to values accepted as or being
true. Relative accuracy is the closeness of the relative positions of features to their respective
relative positions accepted as being true. Descriptions of positional accuracy include the quality of
the final file or product after all transformations.
