Description for map 15.1
Map of Canada
Male to female ratio of the population, by census division.
Census divisions in Canada were divided into four groups. The groups are ranked from the highest to the lowest ratio of males per 100 females of the population. The white area on the map represents sparsely populated regions in Canada and is not associated with a ratio.
On this map, the shades of green correspond to census divisions with a male to female ratio higher than 100 and the shades of brown correspond to census divisions with a male to female ratio less than 100. Group 1 is dark green, group 2 is green, group 3 is brown, and group 4 is dark brown.
The number of census divisions per group is also provided on this map. These numbers are provided in the following table.
Source: Statistics Canada, Census of Population, 2006.

| Number of census divisions | Group | Colour | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratio of males per 100 females | |||
| 105 to 116 | 16 | 1 | Dark green |
