Restoration of the 1971 enumeration area polygons for Canada's largest cities

Digitized 1971 enumeration area (EA) boundaries are now available for all 33 census metropolitan areas defined by the 2011 Census of Population.

The restored EA boundaries also include 1971 population and dwelling statistics. The areas covered by the restored EA polygons account for 62% of Canada's total population in 1971.

EAs are the smallest geographical unit for the release of 1971 Census statistics.

The purpose of the data set is to provide a historical geography in a digital format to be used for reference, mapping and time series analysis of Canada's largest cities.
