It shows that the median family income in Canada is $76,000 -- generally higher in the West than the East -- while the median individual income is just $27,600. That means just as many individuals earn less than $27,600 as earn more.
The richest 10 per cent of individuals are making more than $80,400. And the very rich -- the 272,600 individuals that make up the top one per cent -- are all making more than $191,100.

由低到高排序，中间值为MEDIAN（中文叫中值）。平均值谁都能理解。
１万，２万，３万，８万，１８万：MEDIAN 为３万，AVERAGE为6.4万。
