Urban and rural areas - 'CMA/CA' versus 'Non-CMA/CA' variant

8.1 - Census metropolitan area and census agglomeration

Large urban areas (known as urban cores) together with adjacent urban and rural areas (known as urban and rural fringes) that have a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban cores. A census metropolitan area (CMA) has an urban core population of at least 100,000 and a census agglomeration (CA) has an urban core population between 10,000 and 100,000 based on the previous census.
