Note

Special Note: Dissemination Area

The dissemination area (DA) is a new standard geographic area. It replaces the enumeration area (EA) as a basic unit for dissemination. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Dissemination of Suppressed Census Subdivisions (CSDs) - 20% Sample Data

To facilitate the publication of data for 12 Dissemination Areas for which the 'parent' CSDs have been suppressed because of a high non-response rate, the parent CSDs were given a value/qualifier of '0'. Note that the value/qualifier of '0' for these CSDs does not represent data for them. This '0' appears as a dash '-' in Beyond 20/20 and as an 'N' on the Internet.

The list of suppressed CSDs set at '0' are:

The CSD of Walpole Island 46 (3538004)
The CSD of Wikwemikong Unceded 26 (3551043)
The CSD of Moosonee (3556106)
The CSD of Jean Baptiste Gambler 183 (4817817)
The CSD of Sliammon 1 (5927802)

For additional information on the geographic classification, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Impact of Municipal Restructuring

The boundaries and names of municipalities (census subdivisions) can change from one census to the next because of annexations, dissolutions and incorporations. However, since the 1996 Census, the changes are more numerous and more dramatic, especially in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. In general, data from the 2001 Census are available for fewer and larger census subdivisions, and historical analyses are more complex. To bridge the impact of these municipal changes on data dissemination, the 2001 Census is producing a profile for dissolved census subdivisions. For additional information concerning the 2001 Census products, please refer to the 2001 Census Catalogue, Catalogue Number 92-377-XIE. For additional information about the census subdivisions, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Nunavut (1)

Data from the 2001 Census are available for Nunavut, the new territory that came into effect on April 1, 1999.

Standard data products released only at the Canada/Province/Territory geographic levels will not contain data for Nunavut for the census years prior to 2001.

Standard data products released at the Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and Census Agglomeration (CA) geographic levels will contain data for Nunavut for the 2001, 1996 and/or 1991 Censuses.

The 1996 and 1991 CMA/CA data have been adjusted to reflect as closely as possible the 2001 CMA/CA geographic boundaries. This has been done to facilitate data comparisons using the 2001 geographic boundaries.

For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Occupied Private Dwelling

Refers to a private dwelling in which a person or a group of persons is permanently residing. Also included are private dwellings whose usual residents are temporarily absent on Census Day. Unless otherwise specified, all data in housing products are for occupied private dwellings, rather than for unoccupied private dwellings or dwellings occupied solely by foreign and/or temporary residents. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.

Special Note: Structural Type of Dwelling

The 2001 Census collected data for two new categories for structural type of dwelling:

Apartment with direct ground access in a building that has fewer than five storeys; and Apartment without direct ground access in a building that has fewer than five storeys.

Postcensal data evaluation has revealed a serious misclassification problem with these dwellings. As a result, the data will not be released.

Data for 'Apartment in a building that has fewer than five storeys' have been released in 2001 products. This category is an aggregate of the two new previously mentioned categories, and is directly comparable with the same category from previous censuses. It presents no data problems. For additional information, please refer to the 2001 Census Dictionary, Catalogue Number 92-378-XIE or 92-378-XPE.
