Ten percent of Canadians belonging neither to a visible minority nor to the indigenous population (First Nations and Métis) were living in low-income in 2021. This proportion was much higher among the Indigenous population, especially in the province of Ontario (20.1 percent compared with nine percent). In addition, while visible minorities were proportionally less likely to live in low income than Indigenous people, a quarter of them did so in the province of Prince Edwards Island.
