Description for map 15.1
Map of Canada
Population density, 2006.
The regions in Canada are divided into four groups. The groups are ranked from the highest to the lowest population density (persons per square kilometre).
On this map, dark purple signifies regions where population density is greater than or equal to 256 people per square kilometre; light purple, greater than or equal to 64 but less than 256 people per square kilometre; orange, greater than or equal to 10 but less than 64 people per square kilometre; and yellow, greater than or equal to 0.4 but less than 10 people per square kilometre.
The white area on the map represents sparsely populated regions in Canada and is not associated with a density value.
