Revision of global non-response rate

Following a formal review of population for the reserve of Akwesasne, it was identified that a significant number of dwellings counted as unoccupied should have been identified as occupied, and this resulted in an under-enumeration of people. This affected two census subdivisions (CSDs): Akwesasne, Quebec (2469802); and Akwesasne (Part) 59, Ontario (3501007). The correction to the count of population and occupied dwellings can be found on the Population and dwelling count amendments, 2016 Census page.

As a result of this correction, the global non-response rate (GNR) has been reviewed and it has been determined that the GNR should be revised.  The revision results in a GNR that is above the standard for publication for 2016 Census of Population results. As a result, the data for Akwesasne should be used with caution.

The GNR is the main dissemination criterion associated with the quality of the 2016 Census of Population short-form questionnaire counts and long-form questionnaire estimates. The counts and estimates for areas with a GNR above 50% have a high risk of non-response bias and make the estimates below an acceptable quality level for release.

For more information on the GNR, please refer to the Guide to the Census of Population, 2016, specifically Chapter 11.

In addition to the two individual census subdivisions (CSDs) of Akwesasne, IRI (2469802) and Akwesasne (Part) 59, IRI (3501007), and the two CSDs combined, the aggregate dissemination areas 24690003 and 35010005 along with the dissemination areas found within the census subdivisions are affected.
