The NHS Profile contains basic National Household Survey (NHS)* data for census subdivisions (CSDs), census divisions (CDs)**, census metropolitan areas (CMAs), census agglomerations (CAs), federal electoral districts (FEDs), provinces/territories, and Canada.  

* See Changes Starting with the 2011 Census to gain a basic understanding of the NHS and its origin.
** In BC, census divisions = regional districts.

Important: When selecting a community, be sure to differentiate between CSDs and CAs.  The CSD of Prince George (318 sq. km) is the City of Prince George; the CA of Prince George (17,686 sq. km) includes the CSD of Prince George and several neighbouring CSDs.
