Archived Canadian Taxfiler Income by Age, Sex, and County

Community Counts data provides taxfiler income statistics segmented by age group and sex for Canadian provinces and counties. The dataset is archived and no longer maintained, with users directed to Statistics Canada for current information. Its columns suggest it contains annual income totals and distributions across eight distinct age brackets.

Use Cases

• Analyzing regional income disparities across counties using GeogName and Total columns.
• Tracking income distribution by age cohort over time using Year and age group columns (e.g., 25-34 Years, 55-64 Years).
• Comparing income patterns by sex categories using the DataGroup1 and DataGroup2 columns.
• Mapping economic data to specific geographic identifiers using ComID.

Strengths

• Provides structured demographic and economic breakdowns across eight age groups.
• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Open Canada indicates established provenance.
• Has a clear open license (OGL-CA-2.0) confirmed on two platforms.

Limitations

• Key metadata is missing or conflicting: row counts and exact size are unknown across all sources.
• Dataset is explicitly archived and not maintained, limiting its use for current analysis.
• Documentation on the specific meaning of DataGroup1 and DataGroup2 columns is absent.
