More population comparisons

A few days ago I posted a table that listed the provinces, metropolitan areas, and municipalities ordered by population. As you might have noticed, this first table is quite similar to the one that was posted a few days ago, the main differences are a change in terminology and a correction in one of the Winnipeg listings.



Errata: The superscript '3' by Hamilton should actually be a superscript '2.'

2. Statistics Canada, By census metropolitan area (CMA) or census agglomeration (CA), (2006 numbers)

3. Statistics Canada, All census subdivisions (CSDs), (2006 numbers)

This second table is what seems to me to be the obvious continuation of the first, a representation of size of cities relative to their metropolitan areas. As you can see, Canada's largest cities comprise less than half of their respective metropolitan areas. It seems that it might be worth noting that Calgary, a city that has been experiencing a population boom in recent years, stands apart from some of Canada's older and more established cities in terms of its development patterns. Though it isn't on the table, and it isn't as large, Winnipeg is another city that comprises the vast majority of the metropolitan area.
