Population by size of self-contained labour area (excluding SLAs comprised of only one census subdivision), Canada, 2006
 Table summary
 This table displays the results of Population by size of self-contained labour area (excluding SLAs comprised of only one census subdivision). This information is grouped by population size class of the self-contained labour area (SLA) (appearing as row headers), number of self-contained labour areas (SLAs), population in 2006, census rural population in 2006 (i.e. living outside settlements of 1,000 or more) and rural and small town (RST) population in 2006 (i.e. living outside CMAs and outside CAs) (appearing as column headers), calculated using number, percentage and population as units of measure.

1. The population in 1,256 census subdivisions comprising 128,164 individuals (0.4% of the total population) was "out of scope" for our study (Box 2). In addition, in this table, 336 self-contained labour areas (comprising 221,869 individuals) are excluded as they comprise only one (generally small) census subdivision.
