CUSTOMISED MEASURES OF POVERTY AT A NEIGHBOURHOOD LEVEL Working Poverty Relies on taxfiler data Individuals in a low income family Earning $3000+ in working income Aged 18 to 64 Excludes full-time postsec students Excludes dependents Income Inequality Relies on taxfiler deciles data Ratio of incomes earned by highest and lowest earners % of all income earned by highest and lowest income earners 34

EXPLORING NEW SMALL AREA DATA SOURCES TO MEASURE POVERTY Environics Analytics Adjusted National Household Survey Wealthscapes database TransUnion Credit risk score Risk of Bankruptcy score Total consumer debt 38
BUILDING AN INDEX OF NEIGHBOURHOOD FINANCIAL SECURITY Income only tells part of the story Aspects of wealth such as assets, savings, and debt are equally critical determinants of household financial health. Community level data is needed to galvanize community action Existing analyses of financial security occur at the national or provincial scale, offering little help to those trying to understand the financial situation of Canadian households at the community level. 39
SHIFTING THE PERSPECTIVE: FROM INCOME TO NET WORTH
Income COMPONENTS OF AN INDEX OF NEIGHOURBOOD FINANCIAL SECURITY Variable Definition Average pre-tax household income, including employment income, income from government programs, pension income, investment income and any other money income; Liquid Assets Average per household value of financial assets, including registered & non-registered savings and financial investments; Real Estate Assets Average per household value of primary and other real estate; Consumer debt The average value of all household consumer debt, comprising debt from credit cards, personal loans and lines of credit; Mortgage debt Risk of Bankruptcy The average per household value of all mortgage debt; The score used by financial institutions to measure the likelihood of individuals filing for bankruptcy.
