Note: An urban area is defined as a census metropolitan area (CMA) or a census agglomeration (CA). Rural areas are all areas outside CMAs and CAs. 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, adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the core, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA or CA may have more than one police service. Responses of "Don't know" and "Refusal" are included in the calculation of percentages.
