Racialized population by province Share of the population in a visible-minority (racialized) group, and the shares who are South Asian, Chinese, Black, Filipino, Arab or Latin American (each derived by Quadranac from 2021 Census counts, using that area's own population as the denominator). 'Not a visible minority' includes people who identify as White and Indigenous people who are not also in a visible-minority group. The named groups do not add to 100% because other racialized groups are omitted here. From the 2021 Census of Population. Counts are randomly rounded by Statistics Canada; percentages labelled derived are calculated by Quadranac from those counts.
