Full survey documentation is available here.
When selecting more than one component from the same geographical level, Social Explorer provides a total for these components in the "All Selected Geographies" column. This total is for the available geographies only within the same geographical level. When a value is missing from one or more components from the same geographical level, Social Explorer denotes it with an asterisk (*) in the All Selected Geographies column.
The NHS is a sample survey. A random sample of 4.5 million dwellings was selected for the NHS. This is slightly less than one-third (30%) of all private dwellings in Canada in 2011. For more NHS data, please refer to: Selection of the NHS sample.
Please note that most of the National Household Survey data is included within Social Explorer. In case you cannot find the data you're interested in, please contact us or refer to Statistics Canada.
To ensure confidentiality, the values, including totals are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded.
The 2011 National Household Survey is based on the population in private households rather than the total population. For more information, please refer to: NHS Profile, 2011 – About the data
The abbreviation 'n.i.e.' means 'not included elsewhere.'
All counts in census tabulations are subjected to random rounding. Random rounding transforms all raw counts to random rounded counts. This reduces the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations.
All counts are rounded to a base of 5, meaning they will end in either 0 or 5. the random rounding algorithm employed controls the results and rounds the unit value of the count according to a predetermined frequency. Note that counts ending in 0 or 5 are not changed and remain as 0 or 5.
Due to rounding, sub-groups may not sum to the total population of that group.
