Notes:
a. Provincial estimates  were not generated due to limitations of the sampling design og the 1991 Family Income and Expendeture Survey.
b. Coefficient of variation of 2015 poverty incidence among families is greater than 20%.
c. Caution in utilizing the estimates for these provinces due its very small sample size.
