Line 8:
DPLs are similar to the function of [[census-designated place]]s in the [[United States]], but are defined differently. One significant difference is that Statistics Canada applies the designation to much smaller communities than does the [[United States Census Bureau]].
Statistics Canada indexes designated places numerically, with each designated place referred to by a unique six-digit code, the first two digits of which are the [[Standard Geographical Classification code (Canada)|Standard Geographical Classification code]] for the province or territory in which the place is located, an example being 590066 for [[Shawnigan Lake]] in British Columbia.<ref>[https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/geo/maps-cartes/static-statique/pdf/A0006/2021A0006590066.pdf Designated Place Map - Shawnigan Lake]</ref>
