Note on data quality and disclosure control:
For information on data quality, as well as random rounding, data suppression, and other methods of disclosure control, please consult the Guide to the Census of Population, 2016, Catalogue no. 98-304-X, and the reference guides for the individual topics.

Historical comparison:
In order to facilitate data comparisons over time, the data from previous census years on this table may have been adjusted to reflect the current geographic boundaries, as closely as possible. Exercise caution if comparing data from this table to data produced in previous survey cycles. For additional information on the geographic boundary changes over time, please refer to the specific geography definitions in the Census Dictionary, catalogue number 98-301-X.

The boundaries and names of municipalities (census subdivisions) can change from one census to the next because of annexations, dissolutions and incorporations. To minimize the impact of these municipal changes on data dissemination, the product line includes a profile for dissolved census subdivisions.
