No data are available on the individual components of this variable; only the total of the main expenses is published.

These data are not available for band housing on Indian reserves, since this variable does not apply to this type of dwelling (see 'Remarks' under the definition Tenure).

1. In 1986, no distinction was made between band housing and other types of tenure on Indian reserves. For this reason, all reserve dwellings were grouped under the 'On reserve' category, and no data were published for these areas.
2. In 1981, reserve dwellings were included in the universe for this variable.
