Statistics Canada's Household sector includes unincorporated enterprises operated by households and excludes NPISH. Obligated principal is estimated as the minimum required payment under repayment-schedule assumptions. Both payment and income flows are annualized, so their ratio is served as published, without multiplying by four. This is an aggregate sector ratio, not an average payment per household.
