Since the average income of Bedford is much higher than the Canadian national average, we have included the MEDIAN annual gross income for this town. A reason for such a high average is usually due to a high income that is just under our cut-off of acceptable incomes of <$500,000. In rare cases, some applicants may have entered an extra digit (ie. 400000 instead of 40000), which will also sway the averages in smaller areas. In such a case, we will correct the data accordingly.
