0 true zero or a value rounded to zero X suppressed to meet the confidentiality requirements of the Statistics Act Note 1 Rural facilities are those that are situated outside of a census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA). Urban facilities are those that are situated within a CMA or CA. A CMA or a CA is formed by one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (known as the core). A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more must live in the core. A CA must have a core population 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 place of work data, where 50% or more of the population commutes into the core. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 Beds refers only to the number of funded beds, including children's beds and cribs if applicable, regardless of source of funding. Excludes unfunded beds, which may include emergency beds such as cots, sofas, or sleeping bags. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 Occupancy is calculated by dividing the total number of residents on the snapshot day by the total number of funded beds, multiplied by 100. A facility was considered full if its occupancy was 90% or more. Return to note 3 referrer Note: The April 18, 2018 reference period reflects the survey snapshot day, a predetermined business day meant to represent a typical day of operations for facilities across Canada. Facilities are defined by their mandated expected length of stay, regardless of practice. Short-term facilities include facilities whose expected length of stay is less than three months, and typically provide individual beds to residents, as opposed to separate apartments or units.
