The region

For the purpose of compiling a picture of the demography of this region, data is used here from the the 2009 report Canada's Creative Corridor[1], which presents the statistics from Statistics Canada[2] on the following basis:

  1. CMA: Eastern Ontario’s three (Ottawa, Kingston and Peterborough) Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA) – regions focused around a central municipality with a population in excess of 100,000 plus surrounding municipalities that are highly integrated based on the amount of daily commuting to the core
  2. CA: nine Census Agglomerations (CA) – regions focused around a central municipality with a population between 10,000 and 100,000 plus surrounding municipalities that are highly integrated based on the amount of commuting to the core
  3. Rural: the Region’s rural areas – areas with a population of less than 10,000.

Eastern Ontario has a significantly larger proportion of its population living in its rural areas than the province as a whole. There are also more smaller urban areas in the region[3].
