2011 Census PUMF

Question
Will data for dissemination areas (besides the basic demographic data that is now covered in the shorter Census) ever be made available? Is the NHS large enough to provide data on that small of a scale?

Also, is there a PUMF expected for the 2011 Census? I see the NHS PUMF is due in December, but I can’t find mention of a census PUMF.

Answer


Previous census PUMFs were from the long-form Census, therefore there will not be a PUMF for the short form Census. On the Tentative Release Dates of DLI Products, you have information pertaining to the release of the NHS PUMF. DA level data will not be disseminated on the Statcan website. But we have acquired the NHS profile by DA for the DLI.
