Description for thematic maps

Level of statistical significance and the colours in the legend for the Thematic maps

The statistical significance was calculated at a 95% level of confidence to determine whether the data were significantly higher or lower than the Canadian average for the maps from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and the Vital Statistics – Birth Database.

The following colours were used in the series:
Green = significantly lower
Yellow = not significantly different
Orange = not significantly different
Grey = sparsely populated (according to the population ecumene)
White = data not available

Each map displays the national average.
