Notes:
Between the first release (age and sex) and the second release the number of
geographic areas included in the file increased from 57,779 to 57,894.
The content of the complete cumulative profile – Income and earnings, and Shelter costs – was expanded to include 62 additional data lines related to Immigrant status and place of birth and 47 additional data lines for recent immigrants and selected places of birth. This expanded content is similar to what was produced from the 2001 Census and provides more detailed places of birth for the total immigrant population and for the recent immigrant population. In addition to this expanded content, a data quality note has been added in reference to the age at immigration variable appearing in both the cumulative profile and the topic-based tabulation.
