Census of Population, 1991 [Canada]: Profile Series, Part A [Short Form] [B2020]

The enumeration area (EA), as the basic geographical unit of census data collection, is the smallest standard geographic area for which census data are normally available. All Standard geographic areas are composed of one or more complete enumeration areas. Reference maps showing EAs are published separately. Enumeration areas (EAs) never cut across any standard geographic areas recognized by the census. Therefore the boundaries and codes of EAs change from census to census, reflecting population shifts, changes to census subdivisions and geographic area boundaries and changes to census representative workload criteria. The 1991 census was taken in accordance with the boundaries of the 195 federal electoral districts (FEDs) identified by the 1987 Representation Order to the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act. A federal electoral district (FED) is that area entitled to return a member to serve in the House of Commons. This particular product presents the Part A profile for enumeration areas. This product provides a profile of enumeration areas (EAs) within federal electoral districts. It is based on data collected by the 1991 Census of Canada from all households. This profile shows population counts by age and sex, by marital status and by mother tongue. It also shows dwelling counts by type and tenure, households by size, and families by size, structure and the presence of never-married sons and daughters.
