Same Sex Couples

Question

A student at UBC would like to identify neighbourhoods in CMAs where the greatest concentrations of same-sex couples live. Neither she nor I can find any tables identifying same-sex couples at a level smaller than CSD. Can you confirm that this is correct? I went pretty carefully through the subset listings (407 occurrences of the term!) but could not find anything at a sub-CSD level, such as census tract.

I would appreciate either a confirmation that there are no such tables, or an indication where such information can be found.

Answer

Here's the answer from Census:
"the only standard product that contain data for same-sex couples is Presence of Other Household Members (5) and Sex (3) for Same-sex Common-law Partners in Private Households, for Canada, Provinces and Territories, 2001 Census - 20% Sample Data (97F0005XCB01040) --

It is possible to obtain custom tables for same-sex unions for smaller level of geographies than provinces and territories. However, it is important to note that data on same-sex couples is not available for geographic areas with 2B population in private households under 5,000."

You can access the tables down to CMA:
