The aboriginal populations chart shows the composition of the aboriginal population in a municipality.

Number of people belonging to a visible minority group as defined by the Employment Equity Act and, if so, the visible minority group to which the person belongs. The Employment Equity Act defines visible minorities as 'persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.' The visible minority population consists mainly of the following groups: South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Arab, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Korean and Japanese.

This table provides historic population, employment, and household counts for Peel, Brampton, Caledon, and Mississauga. The data is sourced from the Census every 5 years (1971, 1976, 1981, etc.) and interpolated to provide yearly values.Population values have had undercoverage (undercounts) applied for each Census year and subsequent years.

Service Delivery Areas (SDAs) are geographies intended to support service planning and delivery by providing service providers with data that is relevant to the local geographies they serve. SDAs are comprised of census tracts (2016 Census) and have varying population thresholds for each municipality.SDAs are generally neighbourhood sized, but are not neighbourhood boundaries. They attempt to capture logical units for delivering services to the public in a local manner, such as child care and early years services. The population thresholds, where an SDA is split, is as follows: Mississauga - 20,000, Brampton - 15,000 and Caledon - 5,000.
