List of designated places in Saskatchewan
Downtown main street of Gravelbourg , Saskatchewan's most populous designated place
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 , Saskatchewan had 198 designated places,[ 3] an increase from 193 in 2016.[ 4] Designated place types in Saskatchewan include 2 cluster subdivisions, 40 dissolved municipalities, 9 northern settlements , 143 organized hamlets , 2 resort subdivisions, and 2 retired population centre.[ 5] In 2021, the 198 designated places had a cumulative population of 11,858, and an average population of 60 . Saskatchewan's largest designated place is Gravelbourg with a population of 986.[ 6]
