Census Undercounts - 1971-Present
The census undercount (also known as census undercoverage) refers to the number of Canadian residents not recorded in the Statistics Canada census. In each census, despite census officials working hard to count the entire population on Census Day, some Canadian residents are missed and some are counted more than once. Statistics Canada adjusts official population estimates to include net undercoverage estimates (persons missed minus persons counted more than once).
