1. A census metropolitan area (CMA) consists of one or more neighbouring municipalities situated around a major urban core. A CMA must have a total population of 100,000 of which 50,000 or more live in the urban core. To be included in the CMA, other adjacent municipalities must have a high degree of integration with the central urban area, as measured by commuting flows derived from census data. A CMA typically comprises more than one police service.
2.CMA populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries.
3. Family violence refers to violence committed by spouses (legally married, separated, divorced, and common-law partners), children, siblings, and extended family.
4. Non-family violence refers to violence committed by friends, dating partners, casual acquaintances, business relationships, criminal relationships, authority figures, and strangers.
5. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 seniors (65 to 89 years). Populations based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division.
6. Excludes the portions of Halton Regional Police and Durham Regional Police that police the CMA of Toronto.
7. Gatineau refers to the Quebec part of Ottawa-Gatineau CMA.
8. Excludes the portion of Halton Regional Police that polices the CMA of Hamilton.
9. The 2010 data for the Sherbrooke CMA are estimates based on 2009 data due to the unavailability of data in 2010.
10. Ottawa refers to the Ontario part of the Ottawa-Gatineau CMA.
11. Includes Halton Regional Police and Durham Regional Police, which are responsible for policing more than one CMA. This total also includes the portion of Durham Regional Police that polices the Oshawa CMA. Because of these inclusions, the CMA total will not equal the total of the individual CMAs.
