Description
This Alberta Official Statistic describes the mobility status (Place of Residence 5 years ago) of Albertans by Census Division for 2011. Mobility status refers to the relationship between a person’s usual place of residence on Census Day 2011 and his or her usual place of residence five years earlier in 2006. “Movers” are those who reported a change of address. “Internal migrants” resided in a different census division (CD) within Canada. “External migrants” resided outside Canada. Internal migrants who moved within the same province are called “intraprovincial migrants”, while those who moved between two provinces are identified as “interprovincial migrants”. Non-migrants are people who, on Census Day, were living at a different address but within the same CD five years earlier.

There are two sub-universes for mobility and migration: mobility status 1 year ago, which is based on the answers to the question on the place of residence 1 year prior to the National Household Survey (NHS) date (Question 23) and mobility status 5 years ago, which is based on the answers to the question on the place of residence 5 years prior to the NHS date (Question 24). This Alberta Official Statistic was derived from the information on the mobility status 5 years ago.
“Mobility status – Place of residence 5 years ago” refers to the status of a person with regard to the place of residence on the reference day, May 10, 2011, in relation to the place of residence on the same date five years earlier. Persons who have not moved are referred to as non-movers and persons who have moved from one residence to another are referred to as movers. Movers include non-migrants and migrants. Non-migrants are persons who did move but remained in the same city, town, township, village or Indian reserve. Migrants include internal migrants who moved to a different city, town, township, village or Indian reserve within Canada. External migrants include persons who lived outside Canada at the earlier reference date.Internal migrants can be further divided into two categories:
Intraprovincial migrants: they lived in the same province on May 10, 2011, as they did on May 10, 2006; and
Interprovincial migrants: they lived in a different province on May 10, 2011, from the one they lived in on May 10, 2006.
