Question
Could someone please clarify for me why some communities are missing from the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles?
The following statement is included on the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles page:
These profiles contain free information on adult and child Aboriginal identity population for selected communities in Canada where the Aboriginal identity population is 200 or more according to the 2001 Census. These communities include First Nations, Metis settlements, Inuit communities, urban centres and rural areas.
Prince George had a Aboriginal identity population of 7,155 in the 2001 Census. Why is PG not included in the list of communities in the 2001 Aboriginal Peoples Survey Community Profiles?
Answer
The product does refer to "selected communities in Canada where the Aboriginal identity population is 200 or more according to the 2001 Census". The key word here is "selected" since not all communities with 200+ Aboriginal persons were included.
Certain communities in Canada were targeted in the sampling plan as ones for which we wanted to be able to produce estimates at the community level; these included reserves, Inuit communities, Métis settlements, and other communities where persons identifying as Aboriginal made up at least 40% of the population, as well as Prince Albert, North Battleford, Wood Buffalo, Yellowknife and Whitehorse, which fall below the 40% mark but which have a large Aboriginal population. These communities together make up the "on-community" sample referred to in the Concepts and Methods Guide.
In addition to these communities, 9 of the census metropolitan areas having large Aboriginal populations were also included in the profiles.
Although Prince George has a substantial Aboriginal population, it accounts for only 10% of the total population of the city and so, the community was not targeted as part of the on-community sample.
As an alternative, there is APS data for Prince George in APS Aboriginal population profiles. Please click on the link below.
