1. Data collection in Nunavut resulted in undercoverage of the Inuit population and lower response rates than those in Yukon and the Northwest Territories. As such, results for Nunavut should be interpreted with caution.
2. Rates are calculated per 1,000 households.
3. Intact family refers to a family in which all children in the household are the biological and/or adopted offspring of both members of the couple.
4. Single refers to a household where members are not spouses and there are no children. It can include persons who are not related (for example roommates). For this reason, the numbers for persons whose family type is "single person" do not match the numbers for persons whose household size is "one person".
