A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data.[1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)."[2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities.[2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres.[2]

In the 2021 Census of Population, Ontario had 135 designated places,[3] an increase from 129 in 2016.[4] Designated place types in Ontario include 45 dissolved municipalities, 44 local service boards, 37 municipal defined places, and 9 dissolved population centres.[5] In 2021, the 135 designated places had a cumulative population of 74,105 and an average population of 549. Ontario's largest designated place is Breslau with a population of 5,053.[6]
