- Return to Citation

<2>Unless noted otherwise, the population counts we use should be considered estimates. Our population values for New Westminister were taken from various sources and although they can be traced back to StatCan, they should not be considered official.

- Return to Citation

<3>The area value has been supplied by StatCan and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of New Westminister. The value given by StatCan reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the StatCan-defined area might be expanded to include that group.

<4>A Housing Unit is a broad term for those places where people live (whether occupied or temporarily vacant), such as a house, an apartment, a mobile home, or an area that is considered as a separate living quarter. By definition, living quarters have been designed for or converted to human habitation where one or more people could reside. In addition, a private dwelling must have a source of heat or power and must be an enclosed space that provides shelter from the elements (ie- walls, roof, doors and windows).
