Rural Canada is usually defined by low population density, small population size, and distance from major agglomerations.
As of the 2021 census[update], nearly 6 million people (16% of the total Canadian population) lived in rural areas of Canada.[3] In the 2006 census, the Canadian population living in a rural area was between 19% and 30% of the total population, depending on the definition of "rural" used.[4]
