Additional information

Balancing confidentiality and gender data dissemination

To maintain the balance between disseminating as much gender-based data as possible and preserving confidentiality, some information from the 2021 Census is released at higher levels of geography using a three-category gender variable with the following categories:

men (cisgender and transgender)
women (cisgender and transgender)
non-binary persons.

Or using a five-category classification of cisgender, transgender and non-binary populations. This is a derived variable that uses both three-category gender and sex at birth:

cisgender men
cisgender women
transgender men
transgender women
non-binary persons.

Given that the non-binary population is small, when necessary, a statistical method producing a two-category gender variable is applied to prevent disclosure of identifiable data for lower levels of geography.

Consequently, in these cases, information will be disseminated using the following categories:

men+
women+.

Individuals in the "non-binary persons" category are distributed in the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol.
