description: Reports metrics on family and household characteristics and marital status of the Canadian population. Statistics Canada defines “Census family” as a married couple and the children, if any, of either and/or both spouses; a couple living common law and the children, if any, of either and/or both partners; or a lone parent of any marital status with at least one child living in the same dwelling and that child or those children. All members of a census family live in the same dwelling. A couple may be of opposite or same sex. Children may be children by birth, marriage, common-law union, or adoption regardless of their age or marital status as long as they live in the dwelling and do not have their own married spouse, common-law partner, or child living in the dwelling. Grandchildren living with their grandparent(s) but with no parents present also constitute a census family. Household characteristics refer to characteristics of the person or group of persons occupying the private dwelling. Statistics presented include counts and rates, and are provided in total and by gender, where available.
