These files provide intercensal and postcensal population estimates at the Census Subdivision level only.

Postcensal estimates are based on the 2011 Census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage (CNU) (including adjustment for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves (IEIR)) and the components of demographic growth that occurred since that census. Intercensal estimates are produced using counts from two consecutive censuses adjusted for CNU (including (IEIR) and postcensal estimates.

Estimates are final intercensal up to 2010, final postcensal for 2011 and updated postcensal from 2012 to 2015.

The population growth, which is used to calculate population estimates, is comprised of the natural growth (CANSIM 51-0002 and 51-0013), international migration (CANSIM 51-0011) and interprovincial migration (CANSIM 51-0012).

Note: Table contains one or more secure/confidential cells; these values are represented by the symbol x.
