Agreed, it is quite misleading. For example.
Very low in Montreal is ~$13,600 to ~$25,000.
Very low in Calgary is ~$29,600 to ~$38,000.
Middle income in Montreal is ~$33,300 to ~$50,000.
Middle income in Calgary is ~$50,000 to ~75,000.
Another point in regards to Richmond, (and Surrey for that matter) is for individual income they would do poorly, but for household income they would likely fair better, as the demographics that live in those places typically live in larger households.
