IntroductionThis report presents the overall statistical profile for the province of Alberta. In the other profiles, Alberta is broken down into its 87 Provincial Electoral Districts (PEDs), which are based on the electoral boundaries as defined by the Alberta Electoral Divisions Act, Chapter E-4.2, 2010. A PED is a territorial unit represented by an elected Member to serve in the Alberta Provincial Legislative Assembly.
Data in this report have been specially tabulated from Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Canada and the 2011 National Household Survey, by allocation of Statistics Canada block face reference points to PEDs. These data include the following characteristics: age, sex, marital status, household types, language, Aboriginal identity, ethnic origin, place of birth, mobility, dwelling characteristics, education, labour force activity and income.
Located within the boundaries of PED 65 (Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills) is the Indian reserve of Saddle Lake 125. Saddle Lake 125 was incompletely enumerated in the 2011 Census. Data are not available for this area, and thus are not included in the profile of that PED or of the province of Alberta.
The global non-response rate (GNR) for Alberta is 27.4%. The GNR combines both complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The GNR is an indicator of data quality, where a smaller GNR suggests more accuracy. When the GNR is 50% or above, the data are suppressed. The GNR is identified for each region. A higher GNR indicates the need for user caution.
Users are advised to refer to the endnotes of this profile for further information regarding data quality and definitions. A map for Alberta and its 87 PEDs can be found at the end of the document.

Endnotes The global non-response rate (GNR) for Alberta is 27.4%. The GNR combines both complete non-response
(household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate. The GNR is an indicator of data quality, where a smaller GNR suggests more accuracy. When the GNR is 50% or above, the data are suppressed. The GNR is identified for each region. A higher GNR indicates the need for user caution.
* Totals may not add to 100% due to random rounding.
(1) Population, sex and age groups, legal marital status, family structure, dwelling type, and home language and knowledge of official languages are from the 2011 Census, all other data are from the National Household Survey.
(2) Common-law category refers to persons who live together as a couple but who are not legally married to each other. These persons can be either opposite sex or same sex.
(3) A census family refers to a married couple (with or without children of either or both spouses), a couple living common-law (with or without children of either or both partners) or a lone parent of any marital status (with at least one child living in the same dwelling). A couple may be of opposite or same sex. ‘Children’ in a census family include grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present.
(4) Given the methodological changes to the language questions in 2011, caution is advised when using the data for historical comparability purposes. As the language questions were included in the mandatory portion of the census in 2011, those results are presented here.
(5) ‘Aboriginal identity’ includes persons who reported being an Aboriginal person (First Nations/North American Indian, Métis or Inuk/Inuit) and/or having Registered or Treaty Indian status, and/or membership in a First Nation or Indian band.
(6) As some Indian reserves or settlements were incompletely enumerated, caution is advised when using data from this section.
(7) Includes persons who reported Registered or Treaty Indian status and/or membership in a First Nation or Indian band but did not report an Aboriginal identity.
(8) Includes Canadian citizenship by birth and naturalization.
(9) Persons who are Canadian citizens by birth. Most Canadian citizens by birth were born in Canada, but a small number were born outside Canada to Canadian parents.
(10) Includes landed immigrants/permanent residents who have been granted the right to live in Canada permanently.
(11) ‘Other’ includes responses not indicated elsewhere.
(12) Persons from another country who, at the time of the census, held a work or study permit or who were refugee claimants, as well as family members living with them in Canada.
(13) Includes immigrants who landed in Canada prior to Census Day, May 10, 2011.
(14) Refers to the status of a person with regard to the place of residence on the reference day, May 10, 2011, in relation to the place of residence on the same date one year earlier.
(15) Refers to the status of a person with regard to the place of residence on the reference day, May 10, 2011, in relation to the place of residence on the same date five years earlier.
(16) All expenses paid by household renters: monthly rent, electricity, heat and municipal services.
(17) All expenses paid by household owners: mortgage, electricity, heat, water, taxes, etc.
(18) The sum of the ethnic groups in this table is greater than the total population count because a person may report more than one ethnic origin.
(19) Highest certificate, diploma or degree completed is categorized by the amount of time spent ‘in-class.’ For postsecondary, a university education is considered a higher level of schooling than a college education, which is considered to be higher than the trades. Although some trades may take as long or longer to complete than a given college or university program, the majority of time is spent in on-the-job paid training with less time spent in the classroom.

(22) Labour force status reported during the week of May 1-7, 2011.

(26) Refers to total income received by persons 15 years of age and over during calendar year 2010 as wages and salaries, net income from a non-farm unincorporated business and/or professional practice, and/or net farm self-employment income.
(27) Total income refers to monetary receipts from certain sources (e.g., employment income, government transfer, Old Age Security, income from investment, etc.), before income taxes and deductions, during calendar year 2010.
(28) Total income, including losses.
(29) Average and median total incomes of individuals are calculated for those who are at least 15 years of age and who have an income (positive or negative).
(30) Household total income is the sum of the total incomes of all members of that household, before income taxes and deductions, during the calendar year 2010.
(31) Economic family total income is the sum of the total incomes of all members of that family, before income taxes and deductions, during the calendar year 2010.
(32) Economic family refers to a group of two or more persons who live in the same dwelling and are related to each other by blood, marriage, common-law or adoption.
(33) Couple families are those in which a member of either a married or common-law couple represents the economic family.

(35) Lone-parent families are those in which either a male or female lone parent represents the economic family.
(36) The low-income measure after tax (LIM-AT) is a fixed percentage (50%) of median adjusted after-tax income of households observed at the person level, where ‘adjusted’ indicates that a household’s needs are taken into account. Adjustment for household sizes reflects the fact that a household’s needs increase as the number of members increase, although not necessarily by the same proportion per additional member. LIM-AT is not related or comparable to the low-income cut-offs (LICO) in the 2006 Census. Direct comparisons with low-income estimates from other sources is discouraged; however, it is appropriate to compare this low-income data for the 87 PEDs presented here.
