  • 11. Settlements in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-002-X201100211504
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    By studying the size and form of settlements over time it is possible to better examine their impact on the physical environment, such as consumption of land and pollution emissions. This article focuses on the characteristics of settlements in terms of land area and population, and the changes that have taken place between 2001 and 2006.

  • 12. Delineation of 2006 Urban Areas: Challenges and Achievements Archived
    Articles and reports: 92F0138M2008001
    Description:

    An urban area has a minimum population concentration of 1,000 persons and a population density of at least 400 persons per square kilometre, based on the current census population count. All territory outside urban areas is classified as rural. Taken together, urban and rural areas cover all of Canada. For the 2001 Census, there were 913 urban areas. In 2006, the number of urban areas decreased to 895.

    Following the release of urban areas for the 2001 Census, in-depth analysis revealed that the land area of many urban areas had increased substantially and the boundaries of these urban areas were considered to be over-bounded. In response, the boundaries of nearly half of the 2001 urban areas were updated to rectify this over-bounding, either manually or automatically. This paper describes the post-censal update process of 2001 urban areas and addresses the impact on the 2001 modified population counts adjusted to 2006 urban area boundaries.

    The paper also briefly describes and compares the delineation criteria for urban areas from the 1996 and 2001 Censuses.

  • 13. Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators: Socio-economic Information Archived
    Table: 16-253-X
    Description:

    This annual report provides supporting information to the main Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators report, which presents indicators for water quality, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. This report provides contextual information on the human activities that have influenced the environmental indicators. Socio-economic information is divided into three broad categories: land, population and economy. Selected data from the Censuses of Population and Agriculture are also provided in the form of regional profiles for major drainage areas and sub-drainage areas of Canada. The indicators are intended to assist those in government responsible for developing policy and measuring performance, while also helping individual Canadians who want to know more about the trends in their environment.

    The indicator reports from 2005 to 2007 can be found below. All later indicator reports can be found on Environment Canada's site: www.ec.gc.ca/indicateurs-indicators/.

    More detail on some of the socio-economic information found in the Environment Canada indicator reports can be found here: National economic accounts: Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators

  • 15. Population and Dwelling Count Highlight Tables, 2006 Census Archived
    Table: 97-550-X2006002
    Description:

    These tables provide population and dwelling counts established by the 2006 Census of Canada. The levels of geography covered are Canada, provinces and territories, and other geographic areas including census subdivisions (municipalities), census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations.

    For selected geographies, the tables provide percentage change in the population counts between 2001 and 2006. Data are also provided for land area and population density. Various tables provide sort capabilities that allow the data in a column to be sorted in descending or ascending order. Geographic boundaries are those in effect on January 1, 2006.

    An interactive reference mapping tool called GeoSearch2006 is available on the Statistics Canada website for identifying places and geographic units presented in these tables.

  • 19. Little change in the diversity of land cover since the end of the Crow rate Archived
    Articles and reports: 21-004-X200010313027
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Crop producers were expected to move away from dependence on just a few traditional crops to better protect themselves from the income risks associated with price downturns and climatic events. Based on Statistics Canada survey data from Saskatchewan, there is only limited evidence to support this hypothesis, at least over the period 1994 to 1999.

  • 5. Whither Land Area? A Case for Retaining the Status Quo for the 1996 Census Archived
    Articles and reports: 92F0138M1996001
    Description:

    The purpose of this document is to report on the reasoning for continuing to use the digital planimeter for calculating land area for the 1996 Census. Despite the fact that the data are subject to a number of errors and logical inconsistencies, the Geography Division does not yet have a digital database in place to support the automated calculation of land area.

    This report first provides an historical background on the treatment of land area. It then presents the results of some land area tests based on 1991 data. The tests include the actual use of the digital planimeter, as well as logical consistency checks that compare land area with total area. Finally, a description of the 1996 Digital Cartographic File of enumeration areas (EA/DCF) demonstrates the reason why that file is not employed to calculate land area in an automated fashion.
