Note(s):
Excludes persons where the Aboriginal identity was reported as unknown by police (that is, 2% of victims and less than 1% of accused persons in 2017). Population counts were provided by Statistics Canada. The counts for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations are based on Aboriginal identity. For the years 2001 to 2011, they are derived from an interpolation between the censuses of population and the National Household Survey adjusted for net under coverage, partially enumerated reserves, and populations living in collective dwellings. The population counts from 2012 to 2017 are based on custom population projections.
