Link to Census Tract (CT) Profiles, 2006 Census

Major characteristics

Census tract (CT) profiles provide 2006 Census data for census tracts. Census tracts are small, relatively stable geographic areas that are located in census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and larger census agglomerations (CAs) and usually have a population of 2,500 to 8,000.

These profiles contain free information for all census tracts in Canada. Search capabilities such as by postal code or by census tract name and a mapping application assist the user in finding a census tract of interest. A graphing capability enables the user to view the data using figures such as bar charts and/or pie charts. Additional information on data quality indexes and definitions is also available.
