Canada published first population estimates for subprovincial areas based on the results of the 2016 census. Mid-2018 estimates for census divisions, agglomerations and partly for cities and towns are tabulated.

According to the results of the 2016 census, 20.94 million people live in 30 urban areas and 3.8 million in 57 population centers. In contrast, 918 small population centers have a total population of only 4.46 million.
In contrast to census figures, population estimates for Canada are adjusted for census net undercoverage and for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves.
