Dissemination and Analysis

Geography provides the geographic definitions and tools to present data in a meaningful way

Data has little or no value without a geographic reference

Geography Hierarchy-2006


Census Divisions (CD’s)

Refers to Counties Regional Districts Regional Municipalities

2006 Census: 288 Census Divisions 47 CDs in Atlantic (Jan. 1, 2006)

Two digit code used with province/ territory code to uniquely identity (CDuid) Halifax County is 12 09

CDs are comprised of one or more lower level municipalities


Census Subdivisions

Area that is a municipality or an area that is deemed to be equivalent to a municipality for statistical reporting purposes (e.g., as an Indian reserve or an unorganized territory). Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada.

CSDuid is PR-CD-CSD


Census Subdivision (CSD)

The number of CSDs has been declining since 1991 largely due to municipal restructuring 6,006 CSDs in Canada (Jan 1, 1991) 5,984 CSDs in Canada (Jan. 1, 1996) 5,600 CSDs in Canada (Jan 1, 2001) 5 418 CSDs in Canada (Jan 1, 2006)

317 CSDs in NL 113 CSDs in PEI 100 CSDs in NS 276 CSDs in NB

CSDs are grouped into CDs, and can be included in CMAs and CAs


Dissemination Area (DA)

Smallest geographic level at which we disseminate all of our census data

DAs are defined by aggregating Block UID is PR-CD-DA More stable over time.


Dissemination Area (DA)


Census Metropolitan Areas

Large urban area including adjacent urban and rural areas which have a high degree of economic and social integration with the urban core.

CMA is delineated around an urban core having a population of at least 50,000 with a total population of 100,000

Once a CMA always a CMA Four CMAs in Atlantic


CMA, continued

Each CMA consists of one or more CSDs that meet at least one of the following criteria: the CSD lies wholly or partly within the

urbanized core at least 50% of the employed labour force

living in the CSD works in the urbanized core

at least 25% of the employed labour force working in the CSD lives in the urbanized core


Census Agglomeration (CA)

main labour market area of an urban region of at least 10,000 inhabitants

each CA includes one or more CSDs that meet the same criteria as those that apply to the CMA

if the population drops below 10,000 based on the previous census, that CA is eliminated from the CA program


Census Tract (CT)

permanent neighborhood or rural community in CMAs and most CAs over 50,000 population in urban area

5,076 in Canada Criteria: population between 2500 & 8000,

preferred average of 4000; greatest possible social & economic homogeneity; and a compact shape
