Census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs) exert a social and economic influence beyond their geographic limits. The census metropolitan influenced zone (MIZ) classification categorizes census subdivisions (CSDs) that are outside of a CMA or CA based on the degree of influence that CMAs and CAs have on them.

Census subdivisions (CSDs) are assigned to a MIZ category based on the percentage of their resident employed labour force (employed persons living in that CSD) that has a place of work in the core(s) of CMAs or CAs. CSDs with the same degree of influence tend to be clustered.
