Downtown Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec's most populous designated place

A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data. [1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)." [2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities. [2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres. [2]

Contents

In the 2021 Census of Population, Quebec had 120 designated places, [3] an increase from 117 in 2016. [4] Designated place types in Quebec include 14 retired population centres, 94 dissolved municipalities (municipalité dissoute), and 12 unconstituted localities (localité non constituée). [5] In 2021, the 120 designated places had a cumulative population of 80,697 and an average population of 672. Quebec's largest designated place is Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts with a population of 6,740.

The census geographic units of Canada are the census subdivisions defined and used by Canada's federal government statistics bureau Statistics Canada to conduct the country's quinquennial census. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own. They exist on four levels: the top-level (first-level) divisions are Canada's provinces and territories; these are divided into second-level census divisions, which in turn are divided into third-level census subdivisions and fourth-level dissemination areas.
