In February 2022, more than half of Canadians (53 percent) reported being challenged by the cost of living. These difficulties were more prevalent among Canadians with the lowest incomes: three-quarters of those earning less than 25,000 Canadian dollars per year reported such difficulties, as did 63 percent of those earning between 25,000 and 50,000. In addition, just over one-third of those earning more than 200,000 Canadian dollars a year said they were having difficulty coping with the cost of living.
