Statistical Area Classification: Highlight Tables, 2001 Census

These data tables present selected variables from the 2001 Census according to the statistical area classification (SAC). The tables allow the user to perform simple rank and sort functions. Data are presented for Canada, provinces and territories.

The SAC groups census subdivisions according to whether they are a component of a census metropolitan area, a census agglomeration, a census metropolitan area and census agglomeration influenced zone (strong MIZ, moderate MIZ, weak MIZ or no MIZ) or of the territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon Territory). The SAC is used for data dissemination purposes.
