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.
& v+ E3 I4 p  U: R5 c! ?The richest 10 per cent of individuals are making more than $80,400. And the very rich -- the 272,600 individuals that make up the top one per cent -- are all making more than $191,100.

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.

由低到高排序，中间值为MEDIAN（中文叫中值）。平均值谁都能理解。
１万，２万，３万，８万，１８万：MEDIAN 为３万，AVERAGE为6.4万。
  _' X3 U' Q( A5 M) t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。

median, 收入低于和高于这个数的人一样多，各50%，大部分人会感觉这个数字比较真实。

average， 收入低于这个数值的人数，有可能高达70%，高于这个数的有可能只有30%上下，很多人会觉的“被平均”，“拖后腿”。
