All figures are as of July 1st of the year stated.

First Nations populations are not included in Table 1, as First Nations Reserves are outside the GMPA.

All values are rounded independently. As a result, when municipal data are summed the values may not match the sub-regional and regional totals which are independently rounded to avoid cumulative rounding error.

Employment does not include those without a fixed workplace address.
