The table shows the number of people in Canada in each earning level 
The table details income levels in Canada and how many citizens were included in 
each income bracket from 2005 to 2009. 
In 2005, the number of people in each income level reduced the higher the income, 
with nearly 10 million earning $20,000 or less, falling to only slightly above one third 
of a million earning over $150,000. 
By 2006, the pattern changed as the number of people with the lowest income fell by 
nearly one quarter, whereas those earning between $20,000 and $50,000 increased 
by almost one million and those in the next income level increased dramatically to 
over 7 million. There was also an increase in the number of people in the highest 
income bracket, which rose by over 50,000. 
In 2007, the largest increase in numbers was observed in those earning between 
$50,000 and $100,000, and in 2008 and 2009, figures remained relatively stable, with 
those earning between $20,000 and $50,000 representing the majority. 
Overall, there were variations in the number of people in each income level.

The chart shows the percentage of people who have moved house either in the last 3 years, 
between 3 to 5 years or not within the last 5 years 
The chart illustrates the breakdown between people who have changed address or 
remained in the same house, with the numbers split between those who have moved 
within 5 years, within 3 years or not moved for at least 5 years. 
Those in their twenties and thirties have less than a quarter of people living in the 
same home for more than 5 years and those who moved house three to 5 years back 
being the highest. 
Those aged between 40 and 49 had the highest figure for having moved 3 to 5 years 
ago, with 55% of people compared to 31% that had moved more recently and only 
14% who had not moved in the last 5 years. By the next age group, the percentage of 
people who had moved over 3 years ago and those who had not moved for at least 5 
years was almost the same, with only 17% of people having moved more recently. 
Overall, it can be seen that there are wide variations in the percentage of people who 
move during certain ages.
