Figures come from the 2021 Census of Population (income figures are for 2020), published by Statistics Canada for today’s 343 ridings (the 2023 boundaries) — the same boundaries shown here, so these are 2021 counts totted up for the ridings we use now. Statistics Canada deliberately nudges small counts up or down so no individual can be identified (random rounding) and withholds some figures entirely, so values are approximate and the parts may not add up to the total; a blank means the figure is not published for this riding. The “participation rate” here describes local residents aged 15 and over who are working or looking for work, and has nothing to do with an MP’s voting participation. Land area and population density are not published for ridings, so they are not shown.
