Census Agglomeration/Census Metropolitan Area

Census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations are standard units created to present statistics for the largest urban centres in Canada. A census metropolitan area is delineated around an urban area (urbanized core having a population of at least 100,000, based on the previous census). Across Canada, 25 census metropolitan areas have been defined (according to the 1996 Standard Geographical Classification). Once an area becomes a census metropolitan area, it is retained as a census metropolitan area even if its population subsequently declines. A census agglomeration is based on smaller urban areas, centred on urbanized cores of a population of at least 10,000. However, if the population of the urban core of a census agglomeration declines below 10,000, the census agglomeration is retired. Currently, there are 112 census agglomerations in Canada (according to the 1996 Standard Geographical Classification).
