Low Income Lone Mothers

Question

Is it possible to find a number or percentage of poor (low income or "LICO" status) lone mothers in Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax by Census Tract, or at least, an area smaller than just a CMA?

Answers

1. The lowest geography I found crossing incidence of low income and family type was at the CMA level. I did not see any standard tables with this information at a lower level. The Census PUMF would not be an alternative as the lowest level of geography is the CMA. Unless someone out there knows another source for this information, I would say cost-recovery is your only option for STC stuff.

2. This would be far too detailed a table with income in it. I am quite sure that CMA is the lowest for which standard data would be available. I am not sure about a custom table but one must remember that income is a sensitive varaible.
