Downtown Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec'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, Quebec 117 designated places,[3] an increase from 106 in 2011.[4] Designated place types in Quebec include 11 retired population centres, 94 dissolved municipalities (municipalité dissoute), and 12 unconstituted localities (localité non constituée).[5] In 2016, the 117 designated places had a cumulative population of 76,956 and an average population of 658. Quebec's largest designated place is Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts with a population of 6,082.[5]
