Railway bridge connecting Kitchener to Breslau, Ontario's most populous designated place

A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data.[1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)."[2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities.[2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres.[2]

At the 2016 Census of Population, Ontario 129 designated places,[3] an increase from 114 in 2011.[4] Designated place types in Ontario include 44 dissolved municipalities, 44 local service boards, 27 municipal defined places, and 11 population centres.[5] In 2016, the 129 designated places had a cumulative population of 77,371 and an average population of 600. Ontario's largest designated place is Breslau with a population of 3,778.[5]
