Definition

'Census subdivision – previous census' refers to the census subdivisions as of January 1, 2011, the geographic reference date for the 2011 Census. A 'best fit' linkage is established between dissemination blocks for the 2016 Census and census subdivisions (municipalities) for the 2011 Census. This linkage ensures that data from the current census can be tabulated for the census subdivisions from the previous census.
