Percentages are computed only over the population in private households, which excludes residents of collective dwellings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, prisons, and university residences. A dissemination area dominated by such a facility can have a much smaller percentage denominator than its overall population suggests.

These estimates come from the long-form questionnaire, which was distributed to a 25% sample of private households. They are subject to sampling variability and may differ from a full enumeration. Read more
