Using 2016 custom Census data, this new report provides a profile of households in Calgary with incomes just above the poverty line, as compared with those just below and those far below the poverty line. The report highlights that in addition to the 133,000 people living in poverty, a further 77,000 (6%) had incomes only marginally above the poverty line and thus at risk of falling into poverty. Similar to those in poverty, those with incomes marginally above the poverty line included seniors, persons living alone, immigrants, visible minority and indigenous persons. This group of people was also strongly attached to the labour force, predominantly employed in low-wage industries and occupations. This report was produced in collaboration with Vibrant Communities Calgary. Download the Full Report.
