Federal electoral district profile
1996 Census
Starting today, Canadians can obtain a wealth of information about their federal electoral district, free of charge, on Statistics Canada's Web site (www.statcan.ca). The profiles appear in an easy-to-use format, in both English and French. The Agency is making available statistical profiles of all 301 federal electoral districts. The Federal electoral district profile includes data from the 1996 Census of Population and a mapping feature.
Each profile contains data on four major components: population and demographic characteristics; education; income and work; and families and dwellings. For example, readers can find out the education levels of people in their federal electoral district aged 15 and over, as well as their occupations, mother tongue and the composition of their families. Readers can also compare data for their federal electoral district with provincial and national data.
