    Geographic files and documentation: 92F0138M2026001
    Description: This document describes the structure of the Dissemination Geography Unique Identifier (DGUID), used to uniquely identify all geographic areas maintained by Statistics Canada and link them to data tables with a geographic dimension in the Common Output Database Repository (CODR).
    Release date: 2026-08-05
  • 2. Canadian Social Environment Typology: Data File
    Articles and reports: 17-20-00022026001
    Description: The Canadian Social Environment Typology (CanSET) is a geographic classification tool to compare neighbourhoods across Canadian Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations. It provides three levels of neighbourhood classifications based on combinations of 30 socioeconomic, demographic, ethnocultural and housing variables from the Census of population. Each social environment cluster is a group of similar dissemination areas and represents a unique neighbourhood type. The CanSET data comes with definitions of each neighbourhood type so that users can compare health and social outcomes by neighbourhood characteristics. The CanSET classification includes data and user guide for the 2016 and 2021 versions. Select the version closest to the year of the outcome data. The 2016 CanSET classification is not directly comparable to the 2021 CanSET classification.

  • 3. Correspondence Files
    Geographic files and documentation: 92-156-X
    Description: These files describe the relationships between the geographic areas of the most recent Census of Population and the same geographic areas from previous census.

    Three correspondence files are available: the "Dissemination Area correspondence file", the "Dissemination Area and Land Area correspondence file", and the "Dissemination Block correspondence file".

    Each file contains a unique identifier for the most recent census geographic area and the corresponding unique identifier for the previous census area. An indicator specifying the degree of correspondence between the geographic areas, which facilitates the comparison of data across census years, is also provided.

    A reference guide is available (Correspondence Files, Reference Guide, 92-156-G).

  • 5. Income of Individuals
    13C0015
    Description:

    This annual product characterizes the Canadian population by income and demographics. Data may be requested by gender for marital status, age groups, counts by single year of age, sources of income, income distribution by age group, taxes paid, selected deductions and benefits, median employment income, median total income and median after-tax income, plus national and provincial indices of median total income. The statistics are derived primarily from the annual tax file provided by the Canada Revenue Agency.

    Data for some geographic areas are available starting from 1986. The latest data (2019) can be requested for Canada, provinces and territories, federal electoral districts, economic regions, census divisions, census metropolitan areas, census agglomerations, census tracts and certain postal geographies.

  • 6. Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations with Census Tracts for the 2001 Census Archived
    Geographic files and documentation: 92F0138M2002001
    Description: The 2001 Census defines 27 census metropolitan area (CMAs) and 19 census agglomerations (CAs) with census tracts. This working paper includes three maps for each of these CMAs and CAs. The first map shows the boundary of the CMA/CA and the boundaries of the census subdivision (CSD) components of the CMA/CA for the 1996 Census. The second map shows the transition from 1996 to 2001 (with boundary changes highlighted), and the third map shows the CMA/CA (and component CSDs) as it is defined for the 2001 Census. Accompanying tables list the component census subdivisions and the criteria which they meet to be included in the CMA or CA. The paper describes various factors that can result in changes to the boundaries of CMAs and CAs. For the 2001 Census, municipal restructuring is the factor that has had the greatest impact on the boundaries of some CMAs and CAs. The paper also briefly describes and compares the delineation criteria for metropolitan areas in the United States with those for census metropolitan areas in Canada. An indication is given of the impact on the Canadian CMA program if the American metropolitan area criteria were used.

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
