Abstract: Census Subdivisions are classified into 46 types according to official designations adopted by provincial or federal authorities. Two exceptions are Subdivision of Unorganized in Newfoundland and Labrador and Subdivision of County Municipality in Nova Scotia which are geographic areas created as equivalents for municipalities by Statistics Canada in cooperation with those provinces for the purpose of disseminating statistical data. The Census Subdivision type accompanies the Census Subdivision name in order to distinguish CSDs from each other
