Family Household Composition (HCFMD/HCFMF)

These variables were new for the 2011 Census and are derived from the Family Composition (FMCF) and Household Composition (HHCD) variables.

HCFMD: Counts the types of families within family households at the dwelling level. In multiple family households, only the family composition of the primary family is recorded.

HCFMF: Counts the types of families within family households at the family level. All family types in multiple family households are counted.
