Winnipeg's Neighborhood Profiles include 1996 Census demographic info provided by Statistics Canada on:
* Land area data provided by Planning, Property & Development Services Department, City of Winnipeg.
NOTE: The Winnipeg's Neighborhood Profiles are based on Non-Institutional Population and 20% sampling as
provided by Statistics Canada. This means the data does not include people living in hospitals, nursing homes,
prisons, etc. As well, one in five dwellings were surveyed and the results were then multiplied by five to
arrive at representative data for the whole community.
Only the "Total Population" data is based on the results of surveying all of the dwellings and including all of
the population, both non-institutional and institutional.
