Remarks:

Gross rent includes payments for electricity, oil, gas, coal, wood or other fuels, water and other municipal services, and monthly cash rent.

No data are available on the individual components of this variable (except for the monthly cash rent). Only data on the total of the main rental expenses (gross rent) are 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 1961, 1971 and 1981, reserve dwellings were included in the universe for this variable.
