Technical guide on demographic estimates at Statistics Canada.: CS91-528/2026-1E-PDF

"In 1987, Statistics Canada published its first manual detailing the methods used for estimating population, Population Estimation Methods, Canada (Catalogue no. 91-528-X). The manual represented a direct response to a long-standing policy at Statistics Canada that requires the methods used to produce the agency's statistical information be open to public scrutiny. The manual was updated over time to document conceptual and methodological changes that have been made to the Demographic Estimates Program. … This technical guide replaces previous versions of the Population and Family Estimations Methods at Statistics Canada (Catalogue no. 91-528-X) manual. It also incorporates methods and concepts previously found in three other publications covering demographic estimates at Statistics Canada: Quarterly Demographic Estimates (Catalogue no. 91-002-X), Annual Demographic Estimates: Canada, Provinces and Territories (Catalogue no. 91-215-X), and Annual Demographic Estimates: Subprovincial Areas (Catalogue no. 91-214-X). The guide intended to be a compendium of all methods and current procedures used by Statistics Canada to produce and release population and family estimates by combining and updating information from previous manual with that of the separate publications mentioned above"--Introduction, page 6.
