Mobility Characteristics The mobility statistics describe the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day, and his or her usual place of residence one or five years earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists between their current and previous address. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility status (e.g. 1 year ago). Haldimand County had more “migrants” (movers residing in a different census subdivision (CSD) one year earlier) (4.1%) compared to non-migrant movers (3.5%). Those indicating Haldimand County in their new living address are most likely relocating from within the province, rather than outside of Ontario or Canada.
