## Income

[edit]

The 2011 National Household Survey data showed that Winnipeg's after-tax median household income was $50,537.[62] This was slightly lower than the national average ($54,098),[63] and is in the bottom 10 of lowest median incomes in Canada.[64] A study in 2013 showed that Winnipeg had two of the three poorest postal code areas in all of Canada (R3A and R3B, both located in the inner city) in regards to family income; in fact these are the two poorest that are located in cities (the poorest was a First Nations reserve in the Cape Breton area).[65]

8,610 of Winnipeg's residents (who earn income) make and keep over $100,000 a year, which is 1.7% of the population. This ratio is higher nationally, at 2.6%.

The gender differences in income were less in Winnipeg by about 9% compared to the national medians. The median income for males in Winnipeg is $31,300, whereas for females the median is $23,739. This means a typical male makes about 31.9% more money than a typical female. This ratio is 40.5% nationwide.

## Education

[edit]

According to the 2011 National Household survey,[62] for those aged 25 to 64;

* 12.7% had no diploma, degree or certificate
* 87.3% had a high school diploma (or equivalent)
* 62.1% had a post-secondary education
* 34.0% had a university education
* 28.1% had a non-university education (trades, colleges, apprenticeships, etc.)
