Educational Attainment of Rural and Small Town Albertans (25 to 64 Years of Age)

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the highest level of educational attainment among the population (25 to 64 years of age) in 2011. The population is divided into larger urban centres and rural and small town areas. Within rural and small town Alberta, the population is divided into four categories according to integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influence Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration by measuring the percentage of the working population commuting to urban centers.
