Activity limitation data from the census questionnaire should be used with caution. The data has not been corrected for over/under counts; rather, they are used in the sampling process for the post-censal Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD). We chose to use them despite their shortcomings, because they are one of the only sources of information on activity limitation, in particular on the prevalence of certain types of limitations in Montreal. It is important to specify that these are “persons who reported an activity limitation for at least 6 months” at the time of the 2021 Census rather than “persons with disabilities”.
