Census Metropolitan Area Methodology1
Census Metropolitan Area Methodology1 For the reporting of crime statistics and police personnel, official Statistics Canada census metropolitan area (CMA) populations have been adjusted to follow policing boundaries. Police service boundaries often do not correspond directly with CMA boundaries, particularly in the case of rural detachments. In an effort to match as closely as possible, the following guidelines are used: • If more than half of a detachment's population falls within CMA boundaries, then all of that detachment's crime is included and the portion of its population falling outside the CMA is added to the official CMA population. • Conversely, if less than half of a detachment's population falls within CMA boundaries, then all of that detachment's crime is excluded and the portion of its population falling within the CMA is subtracted from the official CMA population.
