⭐ Core Definition: Territory equivalent to a regional county municipality

An equivalent territory (French: territoire équivalent, pronounced [tɛʁitwaʁ ekivalɑ̃]), formally known as territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (French: territoires équivalents à une MRC), is a territorial unit used by Statistics Canada and the Institut de la statistique du Québec.

Quebec is divided into 87 regional county municipalities (RCMs), equivalent to counties in other jurisdictions. However, the RCMs do not cover the entire territory, since major cities are outside any RCM (French: hors MRC). To ensure complete territorial coverage for certain purposes, such as the census, the equivalent territories are defined.
