This map illustrates the percentage of the total
population in each census division for 1996. Population distribution
was calculated by dividing the census division population, by the total
national population and multiplying the result by 100.
In Canada, the most populated areas coincide with the geographic
location of the 25 census metropolitan areas (CMAs).
According to Statistics Canada 1996 figures, nearly 80% of the total
population lives in CMAs,
which represent only 0.79% of the area of the country or 72 350
860 square kilometres.
