Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the index of concentration for Census Divisions and index of entropy (ethnic heterogeneity) for all 25 Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). The graphs show the breakdown of ethnic population in each CMA, and for Canada.

The statistic reflects the origin of ethnic groups in Canada in 2021. That year, approximately 14.7 percent of the total population in Canada have English roots.

Data on religion by ethnic or cultural origin, generation status, age and gender for the population in private households in Canada, provinces and territories, census metropolitan areas and parts.

Canada: Demographic pressures, 0 (low) - 10 (high): The latest value from 2024 is 1.4 index points, an increase from 1.2 index points in 2023. In comparison, the world average is 5.80 index points, based on data from 176 countries. Historically, the average for Canada from 2007 to 2024 is 2.24 index points. The minimum value, 1 index points, was reached in 2020 while the maximum of 3.3 index points was recorded in 2007.

Contained within the 1st Edition (1906) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows two maps. The first map that shows origins of the people in Maritime provinces and Eastern Quebec, circa 1901. The second map that shows origins of the people in Quebec and Ontario, circa 1901.A varying number of ethnic groups are shown, but mainly: English, Scotch [Scottish], Irish, French and German. People of British origin predominate all provinces, except Quebec, where the French predominated. The French also predominate in adjacent portions of Quebec, such as portions of eastern Ontario, northern New Brunswick, southwestern Nova Scotia, and in the southern portion of Cape Breton. In two small areas near Halifax, N.S., the map indicates descendants of deported persons from Jamaica. The Germans were principally descendants of United Empire Loyalists predominating portions of southern Nova Scotia, Waterlook, Lincoln and Welland counties. Communities with a population greater than 5000 people are shown as proportional dots on the map. In addition, major railway systems displayed.

“Ecumene” is a term used by geographers, meaning “inhabited lands.” Populated places in the ecumene database are referenced using natural boundaries, as opposed to administrative or census boundaries, and provide a more suitable means for integrating socio-economic data with ecological and environmental data in a region. The Canadian Ecumene GeoDatabase 3.0 includes the custom boundaries for more than 3,000 populated areas across Canada, many of which were derived from remote-sensing “night-lights” imagery. Each ecumene place has a corresponding set of attributes pertaining to place name, province, ecozone, indigenous communities, and other descriptive information, as well as an initial custom set of demographic variables derived from Statistics Canada Census and National Household Survey data for 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016. A number of additional layers are also included that map the extents of Canada's ecumene in alternate ways, using transportation and utility networks, nightlights imagery, and population density.

This is spatial data from the 2021 Canadian Census of Population for the Regional Municipality of Durham, originally published by Statistics Canada. This data contains thematic data about ethnicity of the enumerated female population, for each of the Region’s census Dissemination Areas (DA).

Contained within the 1st Edition (1906) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate map that shows 2 maps. The first map shows the origins of the people in British Columbia and Alberta, circa 1901. The second map shows the origins of the people in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. A varying number of ethnic groups are shown, but always included are: English, Scotch [Scottish], Irish, French and German. People of British origin predominate in all provinces, except Quebec, where the French predominate. Germans, principally descendants of United Empire Loyalists, predominate in portions of Alberta, displaying a cosmopolitan population due to immigration from Great Britain and Europe. Communities with a population greater than 5000 people are shown as proportional dots on the map. In addition, major railway systems displayed. The map displays the rectangular survey system which records the land that is available to the public. This grid like system is divided into sections, townships, range, and meridian from mid-Manitoba to Alberta.

Data on visible minority by gender and age for the population in private households in Canada, provinces and territories.

In 2023, there were about 5.81 million males and 5.56 million females between the ages of 25 and 44 living in Canada, which was the most out of any age group. The next largest age group was between the ages of 45 and 64, with 5.01 million males and 5.11 million females.

Canadian demographics

The average age of the Canadian resident population was about 40.6 years in 2023, with Newfoundland and Labrador having the oldest average population, and Nunavut having the youngest average population. Additionally, the majority of Canadians in 2022, both males and females, are single. The next largest group of Canadians are married, and not separated.

Immigration to Canada

Much like the United States, Canada is an immigrant nation, and many of its residents have immigrant backgrounds. Additionally, immigration to Canada has been steadily increasing since 2000, making the country a diverse melting pot for people of all backgrounds.

The Indigenous Populations of Canada map is derived from the CanEcumene 2.0 Geodatabase using custom tabulations of census-based population data. Indigenous communities within the level of the census sub-division (CSD) were identified using a combination of sources from census field data (see Eddy et. al. 2020 for more details). This map shows the percent of Indigenous population in CanEcumene 2.0 communities using graduated symbols, overlaid upon a population density raster. The larger the symbol, the higher the percentage of Indigenous population in that area. The darker the colour in the underlying raster, the denser is the general population. This map illustrates how the majority of Indigenous populations reside in locations outside of the denser populated areas of Canada.

Estimated number of persons on July 1, by 5-year age groups and gender, and median age, for Canada, provinces and territories.

The household incomes chart shows how many household fall in each of the income brackets specified by Statistics Canada.

The Labour Force Distribution (LFD) maps are derived from the CanEcumene 2.0 Geodatabase using custom tabulations of census-based labour force data. These LFD maps were calculated for each of the five major natural resource sectors in Canada: Forestry, Fisheries, Agriculture, Minerals, and Petroleum and Coal. The measure used is the labour force of each sector as a proportion of the goods-producing sectors in the economy. Labour force proportions were first calculated at the individual community level, and then interpolated on a regional level using GIS (see Eddy et. al. 2020 for more detail). In effect, these maps show the strong importance of Canada’s natural resource sectors in various regions of the country. The darker the tone in each map indicates a region’s higher degree of dependency on a given sector for their economic livelihood.
