Note 1

A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of at least 100,000, of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service. CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. The Oshawa CMA is not presented in this table due to the incongruity between police service jurisdictional boundaries and CMA boundaries. The CMA of Saint John is not presented in this table due to the exclusion of data from the Saint John Police Service, but it is included (except for the Saint John Police Service) in the CMA total. The CMA of Québec is not presented in this table due to the exclusion of data from the Québec City Police Service, but it is included (except for the Québec City Police Service) in the CMA total.

Note: Counts are based on victims between the ages of 12 and 110. Victims whose age was reported as older than 110 years are excluded due to possible miscoding of unknown ages within this category. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Populations are based on July 1 estimates from Statistics Canada, Centre for Demography. Percent changes in rate for census metropolitan areas and non-census metropolitan areas over time are impacted by changes in classification of areas as census metropolitan areas are added.
