GEOG 206: Society and Space

Introduction

The Census/Community Profiles contain basic census data for census subdivisions (CSDs), census divisions (CDs)*, census metropolitan areas (CMAs), census agglomerations (CAs), provinces/territories, and Canada.  

*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.
