How to use this application

Demographic estimates are available for each of the census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations. They can be visualized by selecting a region using the "CMA/CA" drop-down menu. The information in the boxes will relate to the most recent year only, except in the case where only one year is selected.

It is possible to select more than one census metropolitan area or census agglomeration at the same time by holding down the "ctrl" key while clicking on another region. The information in the other graphs will change accordingly to show only the selected region(s) (summation of regions).

To select a specific reference period, click on the year of interest with the "Year" drop-down menu. The other graphs will change accordingly to show the data for the selected year.

It is possible to select more than one year at the same time by holding down the "ctrl" key while clicking on another year. The information in other charts will change accordingly to show only the selected year(s). The information in the boxes will relate to the most recent year only.

By hovering the cursor over a region of the map, a bar on a graph, or the pie chart, the corresponding population data will be displayed.

All elements of the dashboard (boxes, geographic map of Canada, graphics, pie chart) are interactive and linked together.

By clicking on the arrow, the scroll bars are reset and the data that appears is the same as when the dashboard was opened.

It is recommended to extract the data using the tables listed in the “Data” section rather than the dashboard.
