Service Delivery Areas (SDA) are a geography created in 2009 for service providers. SDAs were updated in 2017 to incorporate data from the 2016 Census and address areas of growth. The 2017 SDAs are not directly compatible with 2012 SDAs, as the base geography was changed from Dissemination Areas to Census Tracts. Peel has 89 SDAs.
The forecasts are based on demographic analysis and knowledge of where growth and development can be accommodated within the Region. Data rounding has taken place, so values may not always sum up properly.
The forecasts were provided at 5 year intervals on Census years (2016, 2021, 2026, etc.). Intermediate years were calculated using interpolation.
