The clustering of households in rural Canada / G.D. Cormack and S. Brown.: Co22-385/1978E-PDF
"The cost of new communication facilities for rural Canada depends upon where people live. This report summarizes and interprets the results recently obtained by four university researchers on this subject. The location of households throughout rural Canada is given through a set of maps of typical cells and appropriate scale-up factors that permit generalization to the whole of rural Canada. The data could be considered as an extension of present Statistics Canada information on population of settlements. The extension is to small communities definable only by the fact that two or more households are close together. The coverage also extends down to the single isolated household level. For example, the interested reader can use the information to deduce the number of isolated households or the number of three-household communities in the rural portion of the province of Nova Scotia"--Abstract.
