Footnote 1

Census subdivisions (CSDs) are classified into 53 types according to official designations adopted by provincial/territorial or federal authorities.

A designated place (DPL) is normally a small community or settlement that does not meet the criteria established by Statistics Canada to be a census subdivision (an area with municipal status) or a population centre. Designated places are created by provinces and territories, in cooperation with Statistics Canada, to provide data for submunicipal areas.
