Asof 2009, the dominant basic income source across the region was the public sector. For the ComoxValley and northern Central Coast regions this dominance has held steady for over 15 years, while theforestry and wood processing sector has been dominant in the other island regions. Fishing and trapping,and personal investments have dominated in the southern Central Coast. 7Resource dependency remains a factor in our region, with dependence on forestry and wood processingranging from 12% to 26% depending on the district. 8Total income reported by tax filers in 2009 is relatively low in the North Island College region. TheCentral Coast and Alberni-Clayoquot regional districts have an average income per capita of $24,419and $32,977 respectively, the lowest two regions in the province. Tax filers in Mount Waddington andComox-Strathcona fare better (ranked 19 th and 15 th of 27 regions), with average total incomes of$35,388 and $37,444 respectively. 9Income Assistance and Cost of LivingPercentages of individuals receiving income assistance and employment insurance benefits in the NorthIsland College region are among the highest in BC, with NIC’s region ranking fourth and fifth highest outof the province’s fifteen college regions (as of September 2010). This is an improved ranking from the2009 data, from which the region had been ranked third highest for both indicators.6BC Stats.
