(Click to enlarge)

The average household income in Durham Region is higher than the provincial average. According to Statistics Canada, the average income in 2005 was $ 86,391. That is about $ 8,400 more than the provincial average.


While good, the average in Durham was less than all other GTA municipalities, except Toronto. In fact, over the last three censuses (1996, 2001, 2006), Durham has beaten the Ontario and Toronto averages, but trailed the other GTA municipalities.


Pickering has had the highest income in the last three surveys. Uxbridge is catching up, pulling to within $ 54 of the Pickering average. In the 2006 census, Pickering households had an average income of $ 97,967, while Uxbridge came in at $ 97,813, Whitby had an average income of $ 95,874. 

In all censuses, Brock Township trails its seven municipal brethren, in some cases by tens of thousands of dollars. The second-lowest average income in Durham (in all three censuses) was Oshawa, which in the most recent survey topped its northern neighbour by almost $ 4,000.
