Population 1 year of age and over residing in Canada, excluding institutional residents and Canadians (military and government personnel) in households outside Canada
Question number:
Derived variable: Question 23, SAC of 2006 Census classification
Responses:
Not applicable
Remarks:
The Statistical Area Classification indicates the groupings of a census subdivision (CSD), according to whether they are a component of a census metropolitan area (CMA), a tracted or non-tracted census agglomeration (CA), a census metropolitan area or a census agglomeration influenced zone (MIZ) or one of the territories (Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut). Previously, CSDs were classified into either CMA/CA or non-CMA/CA areas of Canada. For the number of CSDs by SAC, see Table 3 in the section on geography.
The SAC of residence 1 year ago reflects the current 2006 Census boundaries.
This variable will allow analysis of migration flows to and from CSDs of various groupings. For example, data on mobility and migration may be retrieved for strong MIZ, moderate MIZ, weak MIZ, no MIZ or territories.
