Rural areas in Canada, often called rural Canada, generally refers to areas in Canada outside of census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations, according to Statistics Canada.[1] Rural areas cover approximately 9,197,138 km2 (3,551,035 sq mi) of Canada's land area as of 2015[update].[2]
Rural Canada is usually defined by low population density, small population size, and distance from major agglomerations.
As of the 2021 census[update], nearly 6 million people (16% of the total Canadian population) lived in rural areas of Canada.[3] In the 2006 census, the Canadian population living in a rural area was between 19% and 30% of the total population, depending on the definition of "rural" used.[4]
