National Household Survey, 2011 [Canada]: Profile [Excel & B2020]

The National Household Survey (NHS) was conceived to replace the mandatory long-form census questionnaire. The content of the NHS 2011 is similar to the past long-form questionnaire, although some questions and sections have changed. This profile presents information from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) for various levels of geography, including provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas/census agglomerations, census divisions, census subdivisions, dissemination areas, federal electoral districts, and forward sortation areas. The forward sortation areas profile was created as a custom tabulation by the University of Toronto, and subsequently shared with ODESI and the DLI. NHS data topics include: Immigration and Ethnocultural Diversity; Aboriginal Peoples; Education and Labour; Mobility and Migration; Language of work; Income and Housing. 2011 Census data topics include: Population and dwelling counts; Age and sex; Families, households and marital status; Structural type of dwelling and collectives; and Language. The Aboriginal Population Profile presents information on the Aboriginal identity population from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). The profile for the NHS Special Collection for 13 Indian reserves and Indian settlements in Northern Ontario provides information from a special data collection following the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS).
