This is an analysis of Home owner Grant Claimants (Full time residents in their principal property) as a percentage of all residential tax folios. The last 7 years available (2007,2008,2009,2010, 2011,2012 2013) are included. The # of Residential tax folios include the home owner claimants and those that are not eligible because the property is a rental, unimproved land, or a secondary home situation. The properties in the unclaimed category are referred to as the shadow community. Vernon has a total of 11,030 properties that claim the 2013 home owners grant. The balance or 4089 are the shadow community not eligible. It is interesting to note the under and over 65 breakdown of the home owner grant claimants. Approximately 41.5% of Vernon's claimants are over 65 while only 31.3% of Coldstream's are over 65.
