The intercensal 2015 Census Subdivision Boundary File portrays the census subdivision geographical limits and provides a framework for mapping and spatial analysis. This file is available as a free download.

The boundaries, names and codes of census subdivisions reflect those in effect on January 1, 2015, the geographic reference date for this edition of the Census Subdivision Boundary File.

The intercensal Census Subdivision Boundary File depicts the full extent of the geographical areas, including the coastal water area. The file is available in two formats: ArcGIS® and Geography Markup Language.
