How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
  • Council money. MAMH’s 2024 financial report, consolidated: charges by service, with revenue, debt and reserves from the financial profile, per resident with MAMH’s own population.
  • Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
  • Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
  • Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
  • Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
