Notes:
• ‘Other’ includes Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
• We removed one-person households because of the small percentage of students in this category.
• The lesson How many people live in a Canadian household? uses this data to study the mean, median and mode.
