Lockhart compared with Elgin

The same measures, for two divisions, beside the metro figure they both sit inside. Nothing here says which division is doing better. Two places in one metro differ because they are different places, and the reason usually lies outside anything this table holds.

This division has a small population, so its survey estimates carry a wide margin of error. The population figure above could reasonably be several percent higher or lower. Read these numbers as a range, not a count.

Census language figures describe residents five years and over.

A division’s ministry count can reflect where an organization files its address, or the area it serves, as much as where it works.
