(Editorial note: does not contain tables which can be derived from tape file, such as table of FED names) ____________________________________________________________ 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction II. Index of variables III. Record layout 1 I. Introduction The Geography Tape File assigns to each 1986 census enumeration area (the basic geographic unit of census data collection) all higher geographic levels by codes and names. The final 1986 population and occupied private dwelling counts for each EA are also included. Each EA is uniquely identified by the codes in the first three fields (columns 1 - 8). For each of the EAs, the codes and names of the following census geostatistical areas are identified: federal electoral district (FED), census division (CD), census consolidated subdivision (CCS), census subdivision (CSD) and, where applicable, the census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA), primary census metropolitan area (PCMA) or primary census agglomeration (PVCA) as well as the urban area. Furthermore, the number and code of each census tract (CT) or provincial census tract (PCT) is identified. The Statistics Canada subprovincial region code for each EA is also included in this file. Where applicable, the population of the CSD, CMA/CA and urban area in which the EA is located is also identified. The following additional geographic information is also provided for each EA: population centroids (by Universal Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conformal coordinates and by latitutde and longitude) and National Topographic System map number. 1 II.

There are 10 provinces and two territories coded as above. The first digit represents the geographic region of Canada to which the province belongs. Code notation is the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) code and is assigned geographically from east to west. In census tabulations, provincial tables include the Yukon and Northwest Territories. 0 2 FED Federal electoral district (FED)(1976 Representation Order) code 3-5 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 This field presents the territorial unit, established by the Canadian Parliament, entitled to return a member to serve in the House of Commons. There are 282 FEDs in Canada based on the 1976 Representation Order. These FEDs are used both to present data and to organize census- taking. 0 Their boundaries may cut across all geostatistical areas, except provinces and enumeration areas (EAs). Federal electoral districts differ from provincial electoral districts. 0 The FED code is used to identify uniquely within each province the smallest unit of data collection. This unit is the enumeration area (EA) and is numbered uniquely within each FED. 0 3 EANO Enumeration area code (EA) 6-8 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 The enumeration area is the smallest standard census geographic unit and is the building block of the geostatistical areas in this coding system. The EA is the basic census data collection unit. It is identified uniquely within each FED and province. 0 The enumeration area is a spatial unit usually canvassed by one Census Representative. It is defined according to the following criteria: (1) Households - the number of households in an enumeration area generally varies between a maximum of 375 households in large urban areas to a minimum of 125 in rural areas; (2) Limits - an enumeration area, being the building block of all geostatistical areas, never cuts across any geographic area recognized by the census. Moreover, enumeration area boundaries are such that the Census Representative will be able to locate them with as little difficulty as possible, for example, streets, roads, railways, rivers and lakes (sic). 0 An enumeration area is uniquely and completely identified by the codes of the province and the FED, to which is added the three digit EA code: i.e. 24/021/015 where 0 24 = province 021 = FED 015 = individual EA number 0 Note: There were 44,042 EAs delineated in Canada for the 1986 Census compared to 41,197 EAs for the 1981 Census. EAs within each standard census geostatistical area are indicated in the Enumeration Area Reference Lists (cat. nos. 99-117 to 99-126). 0 4 CD Census division code (CD) 9-10 I2 0 COMMENTS 0 This field presents census divisions, the general term applying to census divisions, counties, regional districts, regional municipalities, and five other types of geographic areas made up of groups of census subdivisions. In Newfoundland, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the term describes areas that have been created by Statistics Canada in cooperation with the provinces as an equivalent for counties. 0 Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) + __________________________________________ 0 The Standard Geographical Classification provides systematic identification for three types of geographic areas.These are: 0 (1) provinces and territories; 0 (2) census divisions (counties, regional municipalities and regional districts, for example); and 0 (3) census subdivisions (usually municipalities). The three area systems are hierarchically related. Census subdivisions (CSDs) aggregate to census divisions (CDs), which in turn aggregate to a province or a territory (PR). This relationship is reflected in the seven-digit SGC code: 0 PR CD CSD | | | | | XXX | | Census subdivision | XX | Census division (X = one digit) XX Province or territory 0 Remarks: Since 1981, the Standard Geographical Classification has been the sole official geographical classification system used for dissemination purposes. 0 5 CSD Census subdivision code (CSD) 11-13 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 This field presents the Standard Geographical Classification code for each CSD. 0 Census subdivision refers to the general term applying to municipalities, Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories. 0 In Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and British Columbia, the term also describes geostatistical areas that have been created by Statistics Canada in co-operation with the provinces as equivalents for municipalities. 0 Remarks: The 1986 Census was taken according to the municipal boundaries in effect on January 1, 1986. 0 It should be noted that the parts of Flin Flon located in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and the parts of Lloydminster located in Saskatchewan and Alberta are treated as separate CSDs. 0 Summaries of CSD changes are available in two publications: 0 (1) Changes to Municipal Boundaries, Status and Names (cat. no. 12-201, Annual); and 0 (2) Standard Geographical Classification, 1986, Volume III (Catalogue No. 12-573, Occasional). 0 For a detailed listing of census subdivisions, refer to Enumeration Area Reference Lists (cat. nos. 99-117 to 99-120) or the Standard Geographical Classification, 1986, Volume I (cat. no. 12-571, Occasional). 0 6 CSFPOP86 CSD population 14-20 I7 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies the 1986 population of the CSD in which the EA is located. 0 7 CCS Census consolidated subdivision (CCS) code 21-23 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies a geostatistical area created by Statistics Canada. 0 A census consolidated subdivision is a geographically contiguous group of census subdivisions. 0 Three rules are applied in delineating census consolidated subdivisions: 0 (1) all census subdivisions smaller than 25 square kilometres are grouped with a larger subdivision; 0 (2) if a census subdivision greater than 25 square kilometres is surrounded on more than half its perimeter by another subdivision, it is included as part of the CCS formed by the other subdivision; if not, the census subdivision forms a CCS on its own; and 0 (3) a census subdivision with a population greater than 100,000 forms a CCS on its own if it is surrounded by rural CSDs. 0 Those wishing to use this field should consult the Enumeration Area Reference Lists (cat. nos. 99-117 to 99-120) 0 8 CACODE Census metropolitan area/Census agglomeration (CMA/CA) code 24-26 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies EAs in CMAs/CAs created by Statistics Canada. 0 Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) + ______________________________ The general concept of a census metropolitan area (CMA) is one of a very large urbanized core, together with adjacent urban and rural areas which have a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. 0 A CMA is defined as the main labour market area of an urban area (the urbanized core) of at least 100,000 population, based on the previous census. Once an area becomes a CMA, it is retained in the program even if its population subsequently declines. 0 CMAs are comprised of one or more census subdivisions (CSDs) which meet at least one of the following criteria: 0 (1) the CSD falls completely or partly inside the urbanized core; 0 (2) at least 50% of the employed labour force living in the CSD works in the urbanized core; or 0 (3) at least 25% of the employed labour force working in the CSD lives in the urbanized core. 0 Regular and Consolidated CMAs + _____________________________ In some parts of the country, adjacent CMAs and CAs are socially and economically interrelated. When this occurs, they are grouped into a single consolidated CMA. A regular CMA, on the other hand, is free- standing. It is either not adjacent to another CMA or CA or not sufficiently related to another CMA or CA to be consolidated. 0 To be eligible for consolidation, the total commuting interchange between the adjacent CMAs and CAs must be equal to at least 35% of the labour force living in the smaller CMA or CA. After consolidation, the original CMAs and CAs become subregions (called primary CMAs and CAs) within the consolidated CMA. 0 Exceptions to the above delineation criteria may occasionally be made in certain special situations. 0 Users should be aware that CMA boundaries may not conform precisely with the main labour market area, since CMAs must respect CSD limits. CMAs may also differ from metropolitan areas designated by local authorities for planning or other purposes. 0 Remarks: While the concept remains unchanged, several modifications have been made to the delineation criteria since 1981. To be included in a CMA, a CSD now requires a commuting flow of at least 50%, up from 40% in 1981. In addition, the flow must be at least 100 persons. Finally, adjacent CMAs and CAs which are closely interrelated will now be combined into a single, larger CMA because of the consolidation criterion. 0 Sherbrooke, Quebec, becomes Canada's 25th CMA in 1986 as a result of population growth in its urbanized core. 0 The change to the commuting flow criterion between 1981 and 1986 was implemented in part in order to maintain historical comparability. It was also required to control differences in the processing of place of work data between the 1971 and the 1981 Censuses. 0 Census Agglomeration (CA) + _________________________ The general concept of a census agglomeration (CA) is one of a large urbanized core, together with adjacent urban and rural areas which have a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. 0 A CA is defined as the main labour market area of an urban area (the urbanized core) of at least 10,000 population, based on the previous census. Once a CA attains an urbanized core population of at least 100,000, based on the previous census, it becomes a census metropolitan area (CMA). 0 CAs are comprised of one or more census subdivisions (CSDs) which meet at least one of the follwing criteria: 0 (1) the CSD falls completely or partly inside the urbanized core; 0 (2) at least 50% of the employed labour force living in the CSD works in the urbanized core; or 0 (3) at least 25% of the employed labour force working in the CSD lives in the urbanized core. 0 Regular and Consolidated CAs + ____________________________ In some parts of the country, adjacent CAs are socially and economically interrelated. When this occurs, they are grouped into a single consolidated CA. A regular CA, on the other hand, is free-standing. It is either not adjacent to another CA or not sufficiently related to another CA to be consolidated. 0 To be eligible for consolidation, the total commuting interchange between the adjacent CAs must be equal to at least 35% of the labour force living in the smaller CA. After consolidation, the original CAs become subregions (called primary CAs) within the consolidated CA. 0 Exceptions to the above delineation criteria may occasionally be made in certain special situations. 0 Users should be aware that CA boundaries may not conform precisely with the main labour market area, since CAs must respect CSD limits. 0 Remarks: While the concept remains unchanged, several modifications have been made to the delineation criteria since 1981. To be included in a CA, a CSD now requires a commuting flow of at least 50%, up from 40% in 1981. In addition, the flow must be at least 100 persons. CAs composed of a single CSD are now permitted, whereas in 1981 at least two CSD components were required for all but census-tracted CAs. This change has added several new CAs to the program. Finally, adjacent CAs which are closely interrelated will now be combined into a single, larger CA because of the consolidation criterion. The change to the commuting flow criterion between 1981 and 1986 was implemented in part in order to maintain historical comparability. It was also required to control differences in the processing of place of work data between the 1971 and the 1981 Censuses. Note: If positions are zeros, the EA is not part of a CMA or a CA. 0 See list of census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations. 0 9 CACMATP CMA/CA selector 27-27 A1 0 CONTENT CODE Consolidated CMA A Regular CMA B Consolidated CA C Regular CA D 0 COMMENTS This field identifies those EAs belonging to a CMA or a CA. 0 10 PACODE Primary census metropolitan area/Primary census agglomeration (PCMA/PCA) code 28-30 I3 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies those EAs in the PCMAs/PCAs created by Statistics Canada. 0 Refers to a labour market subregion within a larger consolidated census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA). Adjacent CMAs and CAs are consolidated into a single CMA or CA if the total commuting interchange between the two is equal to at least 35% of the employed labour force living in the smaller CMA or CA. After consolidation, the original CMAs or CAs become PCMAs or PCAs within the new consolidated CMA or CA. 0 Note: If positions are zeros, the EA is not part of a PCMA or a PCA. 0 11 PAPCMATP PCMA/PCA selector 31-31 A1 0 CONTENT CODE Primary CMA A Regular CMA (i.e. PCMA=CMA) B Primary CA C Regular CA (i.e. PCA=CA) D 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies those EAs belonging to a PCMA or a PCA as outlined above. 0 12 CMAPART CMA/CA part code 32-32 I1 0 CONTENT CODE Urbanized core 1 Urban fringe 2 Rural fringe 3 Urban outside CMA/CAs 4 Rural outside CMA/CAs 5 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies EAs, within CMAs and CAs, as belonging to a CMA/CA part. 0 CMA/CA Part refers to the urban and rural areas within a census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA). There are three CMA/CA parts: urbanized core, urban fringe and rural fringe. While every CMA and CA has an urbanized core, it may or may not have urban or rural fringe areas. 0 Similarly, in consolidated CMAs and CAs, each of the constituent primary CMAs or CAs (PCMAs/PCAs) has an urbanized core, but may or may not have urban or rural fringe areas. The total urbanized core of a consolidated CMA or CA is the sum of the urbanized cores of its constituent PCMAs/PCAs. Similarly, the totals for urban fringe and rural fringe in a consolidated CMA or CA are the sums of the constituent PCMA/PCA urban and rural fringe areas. 0 Urbanized Core: A large area around which a CMA or a CA is delineated. The urbanized core must have a population (based on the previous census) of at least 10,000 in the case of a CA or 100,000 in the case of a CMA. 0 Urban Fringe: An urban area within a CMA or CA, but outside of the urbanized core. 0 Rural Fringe: All territory within a CMA or CA lying outside of urban areas. 0 13 CAFPOP86 CMA/CA population 33-39 I7 0 COMMENTS 0 Where applicable, this field identifies the 1986 population of the CMA or CA in which the EA is located. 0 14 CTCODE Census tract/Provincial census tract (CT/PCT) code 40-43 I4 0 COMMENTS 0 Census Tract (CT) + _________________ 0 Refers to a permanent small census geostatistical area established in large urban communities with the help of local specialists interested in urban and social science research. Census tracts are reviewed and approved by Statistics Canada according to the following criteria: 0 a) the boundaries must follow permanent and easily recognized lines on the ground; b) the population must be between 2,500 and 8,000 with a preferred average of 4,000 persons, except for census tracts in the central business district, major industrial zones, or in peripheral rural or urban areas that may have either a lower or a higher population; c) the area must be as homogeneous as possible in terms of economic status and social living conditions; and d) the shape must be as compact as possible. 0 All census metropolitan areas and all census agglomerations with a CSD having a population of 50,000 or more at the previous census are eligible for a census tract program. Once an urban centre is added to the program, it is retained even if its population subsequently declines. 0 Remarks: For the 1986 Census, one CA has been added to the census tract program. This new tracted centre, Lethbridge, Alberta, brings to 37 the total number of centres in the census tract program for the 1986 Census. 0 Provincial Census Tract (PCT) + _____________________________ 0 Refers to a permanent small census geostatistical area of rural and/or urban type. PCTs exist in the areas not included in the census tract program. Populations of PCTs generally vary between 3,000 and 8,000 with a preferred average of 5,000. Boundaries, as much as possible, follow permanent physical features and/or geographic units suggested by the provinces. 0 The four-digit numeric code assigned to each CT/PCT allows identification of each type of tract. 0 Description Code 0 Census tract code 0001-6999 Provincial census tract code 7000-9999 0 For a detailed listing of census tracts and provincial census tracts, see Enumeration Area Reference Lists (cat. nos. 99-121 to 99-125). 0 15 CTNAME Census tract/Provincial census tract name 44-50 F7.2 0 COMMENTS 0 This field provides the official number assigned by the census for each census tract and provincial census tract. 0 Generally census tracts are assigned a three-digit number in ascending sequence within a CMA or CA. Where a census tract is split into two or more parts, the three-digit number is followed by a decimal point and a further two digits identifying the splits, 0 e.g.: 309.01 309.02 0 Provincial census tracts are assigned a four-digit number in ascending sequence within a province. Where a PCT is split into two or more parts, the four-digit number is followed by a decimal point and a further two digits identifying the splits. Gaps exist in the numbering. These gaps are a result of two factors. Initially PCTs included CTs; however, the decision was made to restrict PCTs to those areas not included in the census tract program. Furthermore, PCTs are retired as the census tract coverage area is expanded. 0 Provincial Province Province census tract name code name 0 0001 to 0101.04 Newfoundland 10 0200 to 0220 Prince Edward Island 11 0300 to 0451 Nova Scotia 12 0718.01 to 0826 New Brunswick 13 1000 to 2239 Quebec 24 3000 to 4480 Ontario 35 5000 to 5194 Manitoba 46 6000 to 6203 Saskatchewan 47 7000.01 to 7315 Alberta 48 8000 to 8403 British Columbia 59 9000 to 9003 Yukon 60 9100 to 9105 Northwest Territories 61 0 Not all PCTs in each range are currently used. 0 16 SPR Subprovincial region (SPR) code 51-52 I2 0 COMMENTS A subprovincial region is a geographical unit intermediate in size between a census division and a province. A subprovincial region is composed of one or more complete census divisions. The subprovincial regions were created in response to the requirement for a geographical unit suitable for the analysis of regional economic activity. Such a unit is small enough to permit regional analysis, yet large enough to include a sufficient number of responses that, after confidential data are suppressed, a broad range of statistics can still be released. The regions are based upon work by Camu, Weeks and Sametz in the 1950s with minor adjustments over the years to accomodate changes in CD boundaries and the views of provincial officials. 0 For further information on subprovincial region codes, please contact Standards Division, Statistics Canada. 0 17 URCODE Urban area code/Rural indicator 53-56 I4 0 COMMENTS 0 This field permits the identification of "urban" areas, or indicates that the EA is in a rural area. Urban areas are those continuously built-up areas having a population concentration of 1,000 or more and a population density of 400 or more per square kilometre based on the previous census. To be considered as continuous, the built-up area must not have a discontinuity exceeding two kilometres. Rural areas comprise all territory outside urban areas and are indicated by a code of 0000. For a detailed listing of urban areas, see Enumeration Area Reference Lists (cat. nos. 99-117 to 99-120). 0 18 URFPOP86 Urban area population 57-63 I7 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies the 1986 population of the urban area to which each EA belongs. 0 19 EAFPOP86 EA population 64-67 I4 0 COMMENTS 0 This field contains the total population of the 1986 EA. 0 20 EAFOPD86 EA occupied private dwelling count 68-71 I4 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies, for each EA, the number of occupied private dwellings. Occupied private dwelling refers to a private dwelling in which a person or group of persons is permanently residing. Also included are private dwellings whose usual residents are temporarily absent on Census Day. This count includes dwellings occupied solely by foreign and/or temporary residents. 0 21 EAFINCOM Incompletely enumerated Indian reserve or Indian settlement 72-72 I1 0 COMMENTS 0 This field identifies those EAs located in incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements. On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 1986 Census, enumeration was not permitted or was interrupted before it could be completed. 0 22 EAZONE Population centroid - UTM zone 73-74 I2 0 COMMENTS 0 Very large countries such as Canada must be divided into strips, usually calles zones, which are projected onto a plane in an orderly fashion. One such system of strip projection is the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). It is called transverse because the strips run north-south rather than east-west along the equator, as in the standard Mercator projection. For further details on the UTM grid, users should contact the Surveys and Mapping Branch of Energy, Mines and Resources Canada, Ottawa K1A 0E9. 0 Canada is divided into 16 zones, of six degrees of longitude each, bearing numbers 7 to 22 from east to west. This field identifies the UTM zone in which the EA is located. 0 23 EAXCOORD UTM X coordinate or easting 75-80 I6 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - UTM X Coordinate or Easting 0 East-west positions (eastings) are measured from a separate point for each zone, namely, an imaginary origin line lying 500,000 metres west of the zone's central meridian. Eastings are counted from the central meridian (called the 500,000 metre line), those to the left of it having an "easting" value of less than 500,000, and those to the right having a value greater than 500,000. Eastings are all greater than 0 (the origin line) and less than 1,000,000. 0 This field identifies the UTM X coordinate or easting of the location of the population centroid of each EA. These population centroids have been positioned at the approximate population centre of gravity of each EA. 0 24 EAYCOORD UTM Y coordinate or northing 81-87 I7 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - UTM Y Coordinate or Northing 0 North-south positions (northings) are designated by their distance in metres from the equator. Because Canada's southernmost point is about 4,620,000 metres from the equator, all horizontal lines in Canada have a "northing" value greater than 4,620,000. 0 This field identifies the UTM Y coordinate or northing of the location of the population centroid of each EA. These population centroids have been positioned at the approximate population centre of gravity of each EA. 0 25 LATDGREE Latitude in degrees 88-89 I2 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Latitude in Degrees 0 This field and the next (variable # 26, LATMINUT) present the latitude (in degrees and minutes north of the equator) of the population centroid of each EA. 0 26 LATMINUT Latitude in minutes 90-91 I2 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Latitude in Minutes 0 See note for variable 25, LATDGREE. 0 27 LONDGREE Longitude in degrees 92-94 I3 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Longitude in Degrees 0 This field and the next (variable # 28, LONMINUT) present the longitude (in degrees west of the prime meridian) of the population centroid of each EA. 0 28 LONMINUT Longitude in minutes 95-96 I2 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Longitude in Minutes 0 See note for variable # 27, LONDGREE. 0 29 LAMBERTX Lambert-X coordinate - easting 97-108 I12 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Lambert X Coordinate - Easting 0 This field identifies the position of the population centroid of each EA, measured in metres east from the origin (see the description of the projection in comments for variable # 30, LAMBERTY). 0 30 LAMBERTY Lambert-Y coordinate - northing 109-120 I12 0 COMMENTS Population Centroid - Lambert Y Coordinate - Northing 0 This field identifies the position of the population centroid of each EA, measured in metres north from the origin. 0 Description of the projection 0 The particular Lambert projection has: 0 - fixed latitude 49 degrees north latitude or standard parallels 77 degrees north latitude - central meridian 91 degrees 52 minutes west longitude - false northing 3,000,000 metres - false easting 6,200,000 metres 0 This projection provides exceptionally good directional and shape relationships for an east-west latitudinal zone. Consequently, the projection is widely used for mapping at the national level. 0 For conic projections, all parallels of latitude are transformed into concentric rings, and meridians are transformed into radii of these circles. They can be visualized geometrically as projections from a sphere to a tangent or secant cone resting over the sphere. Typically the cone is a secant cone about the pole intersecting the earth along two parallels (called the standard parallels). Meridians are transformed into equally spaced straight lines meeting the parallels at right angles. Scale is true along the standard parallels, less than 1.0 between them and more than 1.0 outside them. A central meridian and origin point must typically be specified as there is no universal standard. Area deformation between and near the standard parallels is small. 0 31 NTSMAPNO National Topographic System (NTS) map number 121-129 A9 0 COMMENTS 0 All maps of Canada's National Topographic System are bounded by parallels of latitude and lines of longitude. The quadrangles so formed vary in size depending on both the scale and the latitude of the map they outline. The NTS includes the following scales: 1:1,000,000, 1:500,000, 1:250,000, 1:125,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000.

In Quebec, Village (VL) has been subdivided into Village (VL), Village Cri (VC), Village Naskapi (VK) and Village Nordique (VN). In Saskatchewan, two new CSD types are now recognized for 1986; they are Northern Hamlet (NH) and Northern Village (NV); Municipal Corporation (MC) has been dropped for 1986.
