Data presented in this table are 2001 Census counts and NOT population estimates . The adjusted population estimate for Prince Edward Island on July 1, 2001 was 136,672.

Note 1: For historical and statutory reasons, shelter occupancy on Indian Reserves does not lend itself to the usual classifi- cation. Therefore, in 1991 a special category Band Housing was created.

Note 2: The average number of children per family is calculated using the total number of children at home and the total number of census families.

Notes: Urban area data are based on an area of residence between 30,000 and 99,999 persons.

Low income cut-offs (LICOs) are quite different from measures of poverty and Statistics Canada does not endorse their use as such. LICOs are used to delineate family units into "low income" and "other" groups. A family unit with income below the cut-off for its family size and urbanization classification is considered a low income family. Any family with income equal to or above the cut-off is considered in the "other" category.

For those institutions providing data based on fiscal year ending March 31, the debt outstanding at that time is used to represent the debt at December 31 of the previous year.

Advance Payments Programs were taken out of the cash receipts estimates from 1971 to date and moved to the debt outstanding series. These payments are a type of loan made to farmers since no transaction occurs at the time of the advance. Estimates are derived from data supplied by the Canadian Wheat Board and Agriculture Canada.
