Description: Release published in The Daily – Statistics Canada’s official release bulletin

Description: This study uses the 2021 Census of Population to answer the following questions: To what extent do immigrants contribute to the labour supply of data scientists in Canada? How do immigrant and Canadian-born data scientists differ in sociodemographic characteristics? And given the high demand for data scientists, are the earnings gaps between immigrants and Canadian-born individuals smaller relative to those among all workers?

Description: This infographic illustrates information on how frequently the non-official languages spoken by the largest number of people are spoken in households when all household members have that language in common.

Description: A novel index for estimating the expense of housing and transportation in Canada has been developed, based on the Center for Neighborhood Technology’s Housing + Transportation (H+T®) Affordability Index. By combining Census data and data from other statistical programs we obtain a composite index (the H+T Index) for all Aggregate Dissemination Areas of Canada, except for Territories and First Nations.

Description: This paper examines households with roommates or extended family members, focusing on their housing characteristics. First, it describes living arrangements and how housing costs are shared among household members within these households. Second, it examines characteristics of individuals in these house-sharing and cost-sharing arrangements to illustrate housing instability risks and risks of unmet housing need. Lastly, it assesses some risk profiles to estimate the size of the population in these households that could be at risk of housing instability or unmet housing need.

Description: This study uses the Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) and Census neighbourhood-level income data to examine the issues of flood exposure and socioeconomic disparities at a neighbourhood level. More specifically, this study seeks to further explore the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of areas that have been impacted by flooding over the past four years, as well as whether or not these flooded areas have experienced changes in levels of socio-economic deprivation between 2016 and 2021.

Description: Using data from the 2021 Census of Population and Index of Remoteness, this study examines the extent to which the remoteness of one’s community continues to act as a barrier to education compared to 2016, with a focus on First Nations people, Métis and Inuit. This study also examines other potential factors relevant to educational attainment and sheds light on the learning context of First Nations people, Métis, and Inuit.

Description:

The Census Forward Sortation Area Boundary File contains the boundaries of forward sortation areas (FSAs) derived from postal codes captured from census questionnaires.

The Census Forward Sortation Area Boundary File is available in two representations: Digital Boundary File and Cartographic Boundary File. Digital boundary files depict the full extent of the geographical areas, including the coastal water area. Cartographic boundary files depict the geographical areas using the shorelines of the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. The files provide a framework for mapping and spatial analysis using commercially available geographic information systems (GISs) or other mapping software.

A reference guide is included (92-170-GIE).

Description:

This reference document presents an overview of the different questions used by Statistics Canada to identify Aboriginal peoples. It is divided into three parts. Part one is a brief description of the data sources and their limitations. Part 2 deals with the 2006 census questions used to identify Aboriginal peoples while Part 3 deals with the identification questions used in the Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) and the Aboriginal Children's Survey (ACS).

Description: The Dissemination Area Reference Maps, by Census Subdivisions, for areas outside Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations cover areas outside census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations. Each map in this series covers one census subdivision and displays the boundaries and codes of dissemination areas, designated places and their names, as well as urban and rural areas within that census subdivision. There are 4,470 maps in this series.

The maps also display census subdivision boundaries with street network and other visible features such as railroads, rivers and lakes. The maps are in colour and vary in scale and size; the maximum dimensions are 86 cm by 61 cm (34 inches by 24 inches).

Dissemination areas reference maps are also available by census tracts for census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations (92-147-XIB), and by non-tracted census agglomerations (92-148-UIB). Together, the three sets of dissemination area maps cover all of Canada.

A reference guide is available (92-145-GIE).

Reference maps are available free on the Internet (www.statcan.gc.ca). To purchase this product in electronic format (PDF on CD-ROM) or paper format, please contact us.

Description: The Census Tract Reference Maps, by Census Metropolitan Areas or Census Agglomerations cover all 33 census metropolitan areas and the 15 census agglomerations in the Census Tract Program.

Description:

The Road Network and Geographic Attribute File is a digital representation of Canada's national road network, containing information such as street name, type, direction, address range and road rank. Address ranges are largely dwelling-based and occur mainly in urban centres of Canada. Also included on each side of every road arc are identification names and codes for the following levels of geography:

- province/territory- census subdivision- census metropolitan area- census agglomeration- census tract

Roads are ranked according to four levels of detail, suitable for mapping at small to medium scales. The Road Network and Geographic Attribute File provides cartographic reference features in the production of thematic maps using the 2006 Census Boundary Files. The positional accuracy of the Road Network and Geographic Attribute File does not support cadastral, surveying, digitizing or engineering applications.

The Road Network and Geographic Attribute File is in latitude/longitude coordinates based upon the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). A reference guide is available (92-155-GIE).

Description: The Urban Area Boundary Files portray the urban area boundaries for which 2006 Census data are disseminated. 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. The files contain the boundaries of all 895 urban areas defined for the 2006 Census.

There are two types of boundary files: digital and cartographic. Digital files depict the full extent of the geographical areas, including the coastal water area. Cartographic files depict the geographical areas using only the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. The files provide a framework for mapping and spatial analysis using commercially available geographic information systems (GIS) or other mapping software. They are positionally consistent with the 2006 Road Network File, which can provide additional geographic context for mapping applications.

The Urban Area Boundary Files are in latitude/longitude coordinates and are based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). A reference guide is available (92-160-GWE).
