Notes:
1) Source: Statistics Canada, census data and vital statistics databases, prepared by NWT Bureau of Statistics.
2) Birth and Fertility rates represent the number of births per 1000 population and per 1000 females 15 to 44 respectively. For communities with small populations these rates should be used with caution.
3) Figures for unorganized areas and communities with populations less than 100 are not reported. These figures are included in Regional and Territorial totals.
