A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more must live in its core. A CA must have a core of at least 10,000. To be included in the CMA or CA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the core, as measured by commuting flows derived from previous census data on place of work. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Includes persons who reported feeling very safe from crime when walking alone after dark in their neighbourhood. Individuals who reported never walking alone after dark were excluded from the calculation of the proportions.

However, it does not meet the criteria to qualify as a CA or CMA.

These responses typically represent less than 2% of all responses. Source: Statistics Canada, General Social Survey.
