Data

• Cumulative and Thematic Profiles
  The main set of Profile files group the 21 standard census themes into seven variable groupings, or "profiles". Tables are then created from these seven profiles for all levels of census geography. Profiles differ from other aggregate census data in providing a larger number of themes in the same file for a given geographic area.
  The Thematic Profiles group data by thematic subsets and various levels of census geography.
• Topic-Based Tabulations
  Topic-Based Tabulations present the same series of counts as in the Profile Tables, but separated back into the 20 major themes. This makes each table more manipulable. Topic based tabulations are replacing the «Nation Series», the «Dimension Series» and the «Basic Sumary Tables Series»
