From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data.[ 1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)."[ 2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities.[ 2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres.[ 2]
In the 2021 Census of Population , New Brunswick had 161 designated places,[ 3] an increase from 157 in 2016.[ 4] Designated place types in New Brunswick include 8 former local governments, 152 local service districts [ a] and a single retired population centre.[ 9] In 2021, the 161 designated places had a cumulative population of 93,925 and an average population of 583 . New Brunswick's largest designated place is Tracadie with a population of 5,349.[ 10]

^ Local service districts (LSDs) delineated by Statistics Canada usually correspond to provincially-delineated LSDs but may have boundary and/or name differences or correspond to areas with altered services that are only part of a provincial-delineated LSD. Examples include the Alcida census LSD,[ 5] based on the Alcida and Dauversière service area of the parish of Beresford LSD,[ 6] and the Chiasson-Savoy census LSD, which includes a large area[ 7] to the north of the provincial LSD[ 8] of the same name.
