A statistical profile of Canadian communities
The highly popular Statistical profile of Canadian communities, available on Statistics Canada's Web site, now has several new features.
A favourite of students and researchers, the profiles provide statistical information on more than 6,000 cities, towns, villages and Aboriginal communities, 137 metropolitan areas, and now 139 health regions across Canada. A mapping feature makes the site easy to use. Data can be retrieved on population, education, income and work, families and dwellings, and births and deaths. As well, the enhanced version offers population estimates for 1995, 1996 and 1997, as well as data from the 1996 Census for health regions. In December, even more data by health region will be added.
Refinements to the search results screen include a drop-down list, from which users can choose associated levels of geography. These levels include municipalities, metropolitan areas and, for the first time, health regions. There is also a drop-down list of the municipalities that make up the metropolitan areas.
Access to the original version will remain available for a limited time. A link to A statistical profile of Canadian communities can be found on Statistics Canada's Web site (www.statcan.ca) on the Census, Education resources, or Canadian statistics pages.
