Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division. Rates will be slightly underestimated since spousal and dating populations represent the entire population in Canada. Therefore, these populations are slightly higher than the population covered by the Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey (99% of Canadian population).

Note: Intimate partner violence refers to violence committed by legally married, separated, divorced, opposite and same sex common-law, dating partners (current and previous) and other intimate partners. Excludes incidents where the sex or age of the victim was unknown. Victims aged 90 years and older are excluded from analyses due to instances of miscoding of unknown age within this age category.
