Question
I looked at the 2006 community profile , since the 2011 census doesn’t have data for the Indian reserve of Pikangikum 14). Total population for 2006 is given as 2100. However, no characteristics other than total population and dwelling counts are given. Why is the rest of the data for 2006 suppressed?
Answer
Geographic areas with a non-response rate higher than or equal to 25% are suppressed from tabulations. In the case of Pikangikum 14, Indian reserve:
--Data quality index showing, for the short census questionnaire (100% data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 25% (suppressed).
--Data quality index showing, for the long census questionnaire (20% sample data), a global non-response rate higher than or equal to 25% (suppressed).
Therefore, two of the 8 criteria for suppression were met for Pikangikum 14
