Table summary
This table displays population and dwelling numbers for the total area and settled area of Peterborough CMA and CMA-E. The row headers provide information on the population and dwellings in the years 1971, 1991, 2001 and 2011, as well as the population and dwelling change from 1971 to 2011. The column headers provide information on number and percentage change for the total area and settled area for both the CMA and CMA-ecosystem boundaries.

Note 1. 2011 census metropolitan area (CMA) boundaries are used for all years. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2. The CMA-Ecosystem (CMA-E) combines any Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) polygon that is contained within or that intersects with the CMA boundary, as well as SLC polygons that are fully contained within this newly formed boundary of the CMA-E. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3. Settled area is defined as the built-up area excluding roads. Settled area population and dwelling counts include 1971 and 1991 enumeration area points and 2001 and 2011 dissemination block points located within 400 m of the settled area. Population and dwelling data for 2001 and 2011 is finer in scale than data for 1971 and 1991 and can therefore be better attributed to the settled areas, which may limit comparability of the data over time.
