Notes: This chart compares the population density for 2001 and 2011 by dividing the settled area population by the settled area of the CMA (built-up area excluding roads). Settled area population includes 2001 and 2011 dissemination block points located within 400 m of settled areas. Low-density dwellings may not be captured as built-up in the remotely sensed data. CMAs were categorized as large, mid-size or small based on the 2011 built-up area using geometric intervals. Newer CMAs—those not populated enough to qualify as CMAs in 1971—were grouped separately.
