Census Metropolitan Influence Zone

The census metropolitan influenced zone (MIZ) is a concept that geographically differentiates the area of Canada outside census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs).
Census subdivisions (CSDs) within provinces that are outside CMAs and CAs are assigned to 1 of 4 categories according to the degree of influence (strong, moderate, weak or no influence) that the CMAs or CAs have on them. CSDs within the territories that are outside CAs are assigned to a separate category.

A municipality within a province is assigned to a census metropolitan influenced zone (MIZ) category based on the percentage of its employed labour force that commutes to work in 1 or more of the municipalities (census subdivisions) that are part of the delineation core of a CMA or CA.
