This public-use microdata tape is the latest available using Canadian Family Expenditure Survey data. The survey was carried out in January, February and March 1993 and refers to calendar year 1992. The Survey of Family Expenditure of 1992 is the first since 1990. The 1992 was designed to provide information for persons living in private households in the ten provinces of Canada as well as Whitehorse and Yellowknife. In contrast, the coverage of the 1990 survey only included 17 metropolitan areas in Canada. For confidentiality reasons, data from Charlottetown and Summerside were excluded from the 1990 file. Users should note that data on detailed food expenditure for 1992 were collected in a separate survey (see Statistics Canada Catalogue Number 62-554). The Food Survey had the same coverage as the Family Expenditure Survey of 1992. Records from Whitehorse and Yellowknife have been excluded from both the 1992 files.
