Census subdivision - previous census
Part A - Plain language definition:
Not applicable
Part B - Detailed definition:
Census subdivision – previous census refers to the census subdivisions as of January 1, 2001, the geographic reference date for the 2001 Census. A 'best fit' linkage is established between dissemination blocks for the 2006 Census and census subdivisions (municipalities) for the 2001 Census. This linkage ensures that data from the current census can be tabulated for the census subdivisions from the previous census.
