Human population size and density data per CISSS were derived from the human population from the 2011 census carried out by Statistics Canada (http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/index-eng.cfm).
Respondents with values of 2 (numerator).
Respondents with values of 3 or 4 (numerator).
Respondents with values at 75e centile to 100e centile (numerator).
Respondents from a region with a PTD normalized values from 0 to 1 were classified as higher risk (numerator).
