The data miners at K&K headquarters have long been fans of the Canada Census. And this week鈥檚 information dump from the number pushers at Stats Canada has our private parts feeling all tingly.
And while we found it fascinating that for the first time, one-person households are the most common type of household, surpassing couples with children, and that more than 38 per cent of Vancouverites aged 20 to 34 live at home 鈥� we found the overall information lacking. Which is why we鈥檝e taken it upon ourselves to release our own extensively researched census data, which, frankly, is more relevant to our lives. Here鈥檚 what we鈥檝e discovered:
*听听听听听听听 68 per cent women who still have a black-and-white poster of Robert Doisneau鈥檚 famous 鈥淜iss鈥� photograph on their wall are single or in an unfulfilling relationship.
*听听听听听听 79 per cent of men who have a 鈥淟ove and Laughs鈥� poster of Heather Thomas in a hot tub on their bedroom wall still live in their parents鈥� basement and go through an alarming number of tube socks.
*听听听听听听听听 93 per cent of Facebook commentators who call Gregor Robertson 鈥淢ayor Moonbeam鈥� will also mention bike lanes and the city鈥檚 鈥渨ar on cars鈥� as one of the reasons for Vancouver鈥檚 lack of affordability.
*听听听听听听 Only .03 per cent of the population still owns a water bed, while 91 per cent of those who still own a water bed also drive a van with a sweet mural on the side.
*听听听听听听听 88 per cent of people who watched Netflix鈥檚 Bloodline felt better about their own alcohol consumption afterwards.
*听听听听听听听 People who use the term 鈥渄ungarees鈥� instead of jeans has climbed 11 per cent in Vancouver, but 75 per cent of that increase is due to the affectations of Mount Pleasant and Strathcona residents under the age of 25 who dress like characters in a John Steinbeck novel.听
*听听听听听听听听 86 per cent of Vancouverites who dress like they鈥檙e a character in a John Steinbeck novel have never read a John Steinbeck novel.
