Due to the high non-response rate in 2006 (~ 10% to 25%)1 along with the low census count for 2006 (below both 2001 and 2011), for this presentation, a 12.5% increase was added to the 5 year age groups for 2006 raising the total population herein from 3,190 to 3,589. This adjustment increases the population above the 2011 census count thus showing a continued decline in population between 1996 to 2011.
2006: Data quality index showing, for the short census questionnaire (100% data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 10% but lower than 25% (Source: Statistics Canada).
