Quebec's income rank starts strong and fades with age. Among those 25-34, Quebec's $55,244 median income ties for second of ten provinces; by the time residents reach 65 and older, that same measure has slipped to eighth of ten, at $30,000, ahead of only New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. The decline from peak earnings in the 45-54 band to the 65+ band runs 60.5 percent, the second-steepest drop of any province, behind only Newfoundland and Labrador's. Net worth follows none of this movement: Quebec ranks seventh of ten provinces in every single age band, from $113,600 among those 25-34 to $623,500 among those 55-64, regardless of how the income rank shifts around it. Aerospace manufacturing and hydroelectric power generation are significant contributors to Quebec's economy, and the income figures describe a province that starts working life strongly, but that strength does not carry through to a correspondingly high net worth ranking at any age.
Income above is individual-level, from the 2021 Census, and varies by gender and education. Net worth is family-level, from the Survey of Financial Security, and is compared by province and age only — it is not broken down by gender or education, so changing those inputs would not change the net worth figures shown here.
