Statistical test compares each city to itself over time; p < 0.05 (two-tailed tests); “↗” indicates a statistically significant increase in prevalence rate between subsequent time periods, “↘” indicates a statistically significant decrease in prevalence rate between subsequent time periods, “↑” indicates a statistically significant increase in prevalence rate between 2001–2005 and 2011–2015, and “↓” indicates a statistically significant decrease in prevalence rate between 2001–2005 and 2011–2015. Rates are percentages. “Δ” indicates change. Data source: Canadian Community Health Survey, 2001 to 2005 and 2011 to 2015, Statistics Canada
