Table A1
Distribution of self-contained labour areas (SLAs) by population size, comparing SLAs with one and with two or more component census subdivisions, Canada, 2006
Table summary
This table displays the results of distribution of self-contained labour areas (SLAs) by population size. This information is grouped by Population size class of the self-contained labour area (SLA)(appearing as row headers), Type of self-contained labour area (SLA), self-contained labour areas with two or more component census subdivisions, self-contained labour areas comprising one census subdivision that is 100% self-contained, all self-contained labour areas (appearing as column headers), calculated using number of self-contained labour areas, total population and percentage as a unit of measure.
