Census Division (CD) is the general term for provincially legislated areas (such as county and regional district) joined together for the purposes of regional planning and managing common services (such as police or ambulance services). Census divisions are intermediate geographic areas between the province/territory level and the municipality (census subdivision).

Census subdivision (CSD) is the general term for municipalities (as determined by provincial/territorial governments) or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes (e.g., Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories). Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada.
