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.

To protect confidentiality, Statistics Canada randomly rounds census counts up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. Totals are rounded independently of their parts, so sub-totals may not match the total and percentages may not add up to 100%. Read more
