| 1. A census metropolitan area (CMA) has an urban core population of 100,000 and over and a census agglomeration (CA) has an urban core population of 10,000 to 99,999. Both CMAs and CAs include all neighbouring municipalities where 50 percent or more of the workforce commutes to the urban core. | ||
| 2. Rural and small town areas are towns or municipalities outside the commuting zone of CMAs and CAs. | ||
| * Includes moving from CMA to CA; from CMA to RSTA; from CA to RSTA | ||
| ** Includes moving from CA to CMA; RSTA to CA; RSTA to CMA | ||

| Note: Rural and small town areas are disaggregated into four metropolitan influenced zones (MIZ) sub-groups based on the size of commuting flows of the workforce to any CMA or CA. The Strong MIZ category comprises areas with a commuting flow of 30 percent or more. The Moderate MIZ category comprises areas with a commuting flow between five percent and thirty percent. The Weak MIZ category comprises areas with a commuting flow of more than zero percent and less than five percent. The No MIZ category comprises those areas where no individuals commute to a CMA/CA. | ||
