About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens receiving home care services from a home support worker who reported that their total household income is less than $25,000.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Home Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "less than $25,000" by the number of respondents who answered "less than $25,000, $25,000 to less than $60,000 or $60,000 or more" to the question: In which of the following 3 categories was your total household income before taxes last year?

Notes

The 2021 edition of the Home Care Survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, users are advised to use the survey data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other editions of the survey.
