Demographics
gollark: I don't understand what units of the state you're trying to break it into.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I don't see what your analogy is analogising then.
gollark: Towns and cities are just human-imposed and very fuzzy categories for groups of buildings and infrastructure and such.
gollark: But this is basically just stating your desired conclusion slightly indirectly. Why not include villages? Or districts of a city? Or individual houses?

Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
