1. Residential density of a neighbourhood is calculated according to the percentage of people living in apartments. The neighbourhood corresponds to the census tract for people living in a census metropolitan area or a census agglomeration. For the others, the neighbourhood corresponds to the municipality.
Note: The total of each characteristic may not equal the total population due to missing values.
