Population trajectory across census years
| Year | Population |
|---|---|
| 1911 | 1,055 |
| 1921 | 884 |
Cross-year identity established by spatial polygon overlap (SAME_AS chains across the Canadian Census Subdivision boundary files).
Boundary continuity (non-identical overlaps)
Spatial polygon overlaps with adjacent census years where the boundary shifted enough that the SAME_AS chain didn't merge them. These show where the territory came from and went to even when it isn't tracked as the same persistent place.
Later boundary forms
- In a later year, this CSD contained Somerset N., 1921 (87.9% of this CSD's polygon).
