Highlights
- The population in Canada’s most urban watersheds generally ranks higher in terms of social and economic characteristics than the population in watersheds that are more rural.
- Within the most urban watersheds, the population of census rural areas ranks higher on many social and economic measures than does the population of census urban areas.
- Within each type of watershed, jobs in agriculture, forestry and sawmills are more intensive within census rural areas, while jobs in mining and pulp and paper mills are equally intensive in census rural and census urban areas.
