1996 Census: Profile Series

DESCRIPTION

The 1996 Profile Series provides a univariate statistical overview of a region presenting most of the census variables. This electronic profile contains all levels of geography, i.e. Canada, provinces, territories, census divisions, census subdivisions, census metropolitan areas, census agglomerations, census tracts, federal electoral districts, enumeration areas and forward sortation areas. These data are based on a 20% sample except for the variables Age, Sex and Marital Status which are obtained on a 100% basis.

For a brief look at the type of information available on the Area Profiles, the Community Profiles at the census subdivision level can be accessed on the Statistics Canada Website under the heading Census - "Statistical Profile of Canadian Communities". This information is from the 1996 Census of Population conducted on May 14, 1996. A statistical profile is presented for all Canadian communities (cities, towns, villages, Indian reserves and settlements, etc.) highlighting information on education, income and work, families and dwellings, as well as general population information. A mapping feature is available for viewing the location of a community within Canada. Confidentiality procedures have been applied to the data (both suppression of data and random rounding of numbers) to protect the confidentiality of individual respondents.
