Town of Battleford

 Census information is used to make decisions for your community, your province or territory, and the country as a whole.  A census aims to count the entire population of a country, and the location where each person usually lives. 

 

The census asks questions of people in homes and group living situations, including how many people live or stay in each home, and the sex, age and race of each person.  The goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.  

Communities all over Canada use population counts, educational information, and labour force data from the census to make timely and informed decisions.  See below how population and dwelling in Battleford compares with the rest of Canada.
