Each census tract (CT) is assigned a seven-character numeric 'name' (including leading zeros, the decimal point and trailing zeros). To uniquely identify each CT in its corresponding census metropolitan area or tracted census agglomeration, the three-digit CMA/CA code must precede the CT 'name'. For example:
CMA/CA name | CMA/CA
code |
CT name | CMA/CA code – CT name |
---|---|---|---|
Sarnia CA (Ont.) | 562 | 0005.00 | 5620005.00 |
Vancouver CMA (B.C.) | 933 | 0005.00 | 9330005.00 |
