Note(s):
Current dollars express the cost of items in terms of the year in which the expenditure occurs. Constant dollars are adjusted (by inflation or deflation) to show changes in the purchasing power of the dollar. The Consumer Price Index was used to calculate constant dollars over a base year of 2002 (2002=100). Despite the Police Administration Survey being an annual survey, the 2020 cycle was cancelled. Therefore, there are no data associated with the 2020 cycle. Populations are based on July 1, 2020, estimates using 2016 Census data. Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography.
