Why are the Census community population numbers on the Statistics Canadas website sometimes different than the Census community numbers reported on Community Accounts?
The difference arises because the Census community population count available on Statistics Canada’s website is based on the CSD (Census Subdivision), which corresponds to the municipality. Community population counts available on Community Accounts are based on postal codes. The differences occur in those communities where the CSD or municipal boundary does not match the area serviced by the postal code or postal codes.
