Municipality confidence tiers

evidence strength · not population size

Every community receives a confidence tier separate from its publication class. Public sources can support Tier C; Tier B requires governed local administrative evidence, and Tier A requires direct municipal validation, reconciliation and an agreed refresh cycle.

Tier A0

Partner-validated

The modeled estimate is reconciled with governed municipal administrative data and directly validated through an active municipal data partnership.

Tier B0

Locally corroborated

A publishable public-source estimate is strengthened by current, model-relevant municipal administrative data from multiple local evidence domains.

Tier C90

Public-source estimate

A point estimate is supported by official public benchmarks and observable local activity, but has not been validated by the municipality.

Tier D861

Profile only

Public evidence is insufficient for a defensible point estimate; the platform publishes only the supported profile fields.

No community is currently promoted to Tier A or B without governed evidence satisfying those requirements. A Tier A estimate remains modeled unless separately published by the municipality as an official statistic. Open the city and town evidence manifest →

Bar length compares official provincial current-dollar GDP. The allocation note describes model coverage, not the industry’s performance or outlook.

What is deliberately not allocated

honest residuals

Sectors with the largest unallocated residuals and the reason each stays provincial.
Sector	Benchmark	Residual	Why
Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction [21]	$32.6B	$28.1B	Only the ~14% labour-income share of extraction GDP is allocated by employment; extraction value stays unallocated pending facility-based weights.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting [11]	$11.8B	$10.2B	Only the employer-farm share of agriculture is allocated by CBC employment; non-employer farm production stays unallocated pending Census of Agriculture weights.
Public administration [91]	$5.9B	$637M	Communities under the Business Counts 10-employer threshold; their share stays unallocated.
Educational services [61]	$4.1B	$77M	Communities under the Business Counts 10-employer threshold; their share stays unallocated.

Allocations reconcile to the official provincial benchmark. Value that cannot be placed stays in the provincial residual.

Tier COEX community GDP engine on Statistics Canada benchmarks — Benchmark allocation, calculation v2.1.0: official provincial sector GDP distributed by measured activity weights (Business Counts employment, census dwellings, resident household income), income/production blend. Modeled estimates that reconcile to provincial totals — not Statistics Canada measurements. · 2026-05-01 · Modeled estimate

Versioned estimates allocate the 2022 provincial accounts by Business Counts employment (2022-07), census dwellings, and resident household income. Point estimates publish only where coverage supports them.
