    How to interpret this

    A lower or higher estimate does not establish a better city. Housing stock, household composition and boundaries affect comparisons. Equal estimates share an order; overlapping uncertainty may make apparent differences inconclusive.

    Canadian comparison only. Police CMA boundaries may differ from census CMA boundaries.
