2016 Census data tabulations vary depending on who or what is being counted and the size of the population in the sample.  Usually, this is determined by the variables contained in the tabulation. 

By definition, Census data is collected for the population by their usual place of residence, be it a collective dwelling or a private household . Total population (100%) tabulations contain information collected by 100% of the population. These include variables such as age, sex and income. 
Variables that were collected on the long form were collected only for a 25% sample of the population in private households. The results are then weighted to represent the total population. Data tabulations that contain variables from the long form questionnaire are for the population in private households. 

For more information on sampling and weighing, please refer to  Chapter 9 – Sampling and weighting for the long form or to the Sampling and Weighting Technical Report, Census of Population, 2016.
