Census Population, Age and Gender

In the 2021 Census, Statistics Canada introduced the concept of gender. Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable was necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category “non-binary persons” are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the “+” symbol. Data is derived from custom tabulations of Statistic Canada’s Census obtained by the City of Hamilton as a consortium member of the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) Community Data Program.
