Stats Canada says "Students who are away at school or for a summer job should be included on their parents' questionnaire if they return to live with them at any other time of the year.
Students living elsewhere all year, such as in an apartment or shared housing, and who do not return to live at their parents' home should be included on the questionnaire at their usual place of residence."
So just as locations with a student residence may have a low or negligable count, residential neighbourhoods may show a higher popualtion than is true when university is in session.
