Census population, by community area
The census counts places, not membership. This Nation has 2 matched census areas, so the figures are shown per area rather than added together.
| Community area | 2021 | 2016 | Median age | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whitefish Bay 34A, Indian reserve (IRI) | 125 | 124 | 23.4 | 8.6% of long forms went unanswered. |
| Lake of the Woods 37, Indian reserve (IRI) | 49 | 62 | 30.2 | 5.3% of long forms went unanswered. |
How reliable is this census, and how did we match it
- Whitefish Bay 34A, Indian reserve (IRI): 8.6% of long forms went unanswered.
- Lake of the Woods 37, Indian reserve (IRI): 5.3% of long forms went unanswered.
Matched to 2 census areas by name and location, each an exact name match. The match is ours, not the publisher's, so we show you how it was made.
Who lives here, and the languages spoken
Shown as Statistics Canada published them. Counts on reserve are rounded to the nearest five, so parts do not always add to their total.
