Reads a table of the Indigenous Population Profile, 2021 Census of Population
(Statistics Canada catalogue 98-510-X2021001 to 98-510-X2021016), as the data
service mirrors it, into one row per geography, gender, age group,
characteristic and group: First Nations, Metis, Inuit, the other identity
groups and non-Indigenous people (or, in the household tables, Indigenous and
non-Indigenous households), each in its own rows. The data service keeps
these tables under census2021_ipp/.
Value
A data frame of class rmbl_census_profile: geo,
dguid, geolvl, residence (on or off reserve, in the
tables that split it), gender, age, chaid,
characteristic, level, parid, rootid,
sample, group, value, quality, tnrsf,
tnrlf.
Details
The profile gives each characteristic in a hierarchy shown only by
indentation (“Total - Highest certificate, diploma or degree”,
“High (secondary) school diploma or equivalency certificate”, ...):
the level, the parent and the topic's total (rootid) are worked out
from it, so a share can be taken of its parent. A topic marked "25%
sample data" comes from the long-form sample (sample = "25%"); the
others from the full count ("100%"). Counts are randomly rounded to
multiples of 5 (of 10 below 10) by Statistics Canada, and a cell suppressed
to protect confidentiality (x), too unreliable (F), not
available (..) or not applicable (...) has no value here;
E values are kept and marked. The global non-response rates of the
geography (tnrsf, tnrlf, in percent) are kept: Statistics
Canada suppresses an area whose long-form rate is 50% or more, and a high
rate means a larger error than the sample alone.
