1971 Census of Population [Canada] Public Use Microdata File (PUMF): Family File (Province Level)

The Family File gives detailed information on the head and spouse of the census family as well as grouped data on other members of the family. A record, when dealing with the family File, refers to data on one family unit. A family consists of a husband and wife (with or without children who have nevered married, regardless of age) or a parent with one or more children with one or more children never married, living in the same dwelling. A family may also consist of a man or woman living with a gaurdianship or ward under 21 years for whom no pay was received. The "Head of the Family" is the husband in a husband-wife family, or the parent in a one-parent family.<br /> This file contains data on the provinces; for data on the CMAs of Montreal and Toronto, see the CMA level file.

家庭档案数据集（Family File）提供普查家庭户主与配偶的详细信息，同时涵盖家庭其他成员的分组统计数据。在本数据集语境下，单条记录即代表单个家庭单元的相关数据。
家庭的定义包含以下两类：一是夫妻双方（可伴随任意年龄的未婚子女）；二是单亲家长与一名及以上未婚子女，且所有成员共同居住于同一住宅内的组合。家庭亦可指一名成年男女与一名及以上21岁以下、未领取报酬的受监护对象共同居住的组合。
“家庭户主”在夫妻型家庭中为丈夫，在单亲家庭中则为该单亲家长。
本数据集涵盖各省层级的统计数据；若需获取蒙特利尔及多伦多普查都市区（Census Metropolitan Area, CMA）的对应数据，请查阅CMA层级数据集。
