Data Notes
Ward Profile statistics are calculated based on the communities that belong either in whole or in part of the Ward. Thus, in cases where communities are part of more than one Ward, Ward statistics may be over or underestimated. Data tables derived from the 2006 Federal Census are based on the communities that were established by 2006.
