A census consolidated subdivision (CCS) is a group of adjacent census subdivisions within the same census division. Generally, the smaller, more densely-populated census subdivisions (towns, villages, etc.) are combined with the surrounding, larger, more rural census subdivision, in order to create a geographic level between the census subdivision and the census division. 3, record 1, English, - census%20consolidated%20subdivision

Une subdivision de recensement unifiée (SRU) est un groupe de subdivisions de recensement adjacentes situées au sein de la même division de recensement. Il s'agit généralement de petites subdivisions de recensement à forte densité de population (villes, villages, etc.) qui sont groupées avec une plus grande subdivision de recensement plutôt rurale, de façon à créer un niveau géographique entre la subdivision de recensement et la division de recensement. 2, record 1, French, - subdivision%20de%20recensement%20unifi%C3%A9e

The boundaries and names of census subdivisions (municipalities) can change from one census to the next because of annexations, dissolutions and incorporations. These changes can result in fewer, larger census subdivisions and historical data analyses becoming more complex. The concept of "census subdivision - previous census" was established to provide a means of tabulating current census data according to census subdivisions as they were delineated for the previous census. 1, record 2, English, - census%20subdivision%20%2D%20previous%20census

Il est possible que les limites et les noms des subdivisions de recensement (municipalités) soient modifiés d'un recensement à un autre par suite d'annexions, de dissolutions et de constitutions. Ces changements peuvent se traduire par une diminution du nombre de subdivisions de recensement et une augmentation de la taille de celles-ci rendant plus complexes les analyses de données historiques. Le concept de «subdivision de recensement – recensement précédent» a été créé pour permettre la totalisation des données du recensement actuel selon les subdivisions de recensement telles qu'elles étaient délimitées au recensement précédent. 1, record 2, French, - subdivision%20de%20recensement%2Drecensement%20pr%C3%A9c%C3%A9dent
