Description

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the percentage of the population that reported having an Aboriginal identity in 2011. The population is divided into larger urban centres and rural and small town areas. Within the larger urban centres, the population is divided between Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) and two different sizes of Census Agglomerations (CA). Within rural and small town Alberta, the population is divided into four categories with each category consecutively representing less integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influence Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration by measuring the percentage of the working population commuting to urban centers. The categories are: Strong MIZ (where 30% to 49% of the workforce commutes to an urban core) Moderate MIZ (where 5% to 29% commute to an urban core) Weak MIZ (where 1% to 4% commute to an urban core) No MIZ (where there are no residents commuting to an urban core)

Description

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the percent change in Alberta’s population between 1986 and 2011 by 5-year census cycles. The population is divided into "Larger Urban Centres" and Rural and Small Town areas. Within rural Alberta, the population is divided into four categories with each category consecutively representing lesser integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influenced Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration based on the percent of the working population commuting to urban centers. The categories are: Strong MIZ (where 30% or more of the workforce commutes to an urban core) Moderate MIZ (where 5% to 29% commute to any urban core) Weak MIZ (where greater than 0% but less than 5% commute to any urban core) No MIZ (where there are no residents commuting to an urban core)
