Need data on personal debt and assets

Question

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to find personal debt and assets by CMA? The period we are interested in is 1980-2000.

Answer

Assuming that you are looking for the assets and debts of individuals, one of the only products available through the DLI that can answer asset and debt questions is the Survey of Consumer Finances.

A few issues:

1) The data is not available at the CMA level (as far as I know, only National and Provincial)
2) Data specific to assets and debts was collected in 1977, 1984 and 1999.
