Enumeration Areas

A total of 13 census enumeration areas (EAs) were used in the 2019 municipal census to assist enumerators with successful data collection from all residential subdivisions throughout the Town. EAs 12 and 13 are not represented on the map, as these EAs were created for categorizing collective dwellings and apartments from all EAs only.
