Census of Population, 1911 [Canada]

The CCRI microdata are based on a five percent sample of the Canadian population as recorded in the 1911 census. The basic sample unit is the dwelling, as defined by the census. The sample includes all responses recorded on the population schedule for all individuals residing in each sampled dwelling. For each census, the main sample covers smaller dwellings with no more than thirty residents. The CCRI microdata facilitate research on individuals, families, households, and communities caught up in the complex transformation of Canadian society which took place during the first half of the twentieth century. Ultimately, these data represent the raw materials with which census statistics can be produced. Confidential data from subsequent census enumerations are available from Statistics Canada's Research Data Centres.
