List of designated places in Manitoba
The Notre-Dame de Lorette in Lorette , Manitoba's most populous designated place
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 , Manitoba had 148 designated places,[3] an increase from 135 in 2016.[4] Designated place types in Manitoba include 9 dissolved municipalities, 44 local urban districts , 46 northern communities, and 48 unincorporated urban centres.[5] In 2021, the 148 designated places had a cumulative population of 89,803 and an average population of 607 . Manitoba's largest designated place is Oakbank with a population of 5,041.[6]
