1 Numbers too small for percentages to be significant. 
When the foreign born are classed in linguistic groups (Table 53, p. 108), the Scandina-~ 
vians are found to be the least urban of all. The German group, with a percentage of only 
38:74 living in urban districts, ranks second, but there is a considerable difference between 
the percentages for these two groups, the figure for the Scandinavians being only 25-75 p.c. 
Of; the Slavs. and the Latins and Greeks, on the other hand, much larger percentages live 
in incorporated cities, towns and villages. The percentage for the former is 46-88 and for 
the Latins and Greeks 63:97 p.c—just a fraction under the percentage urban for the immi- 
grants from the British Isles. Among the Continental Europeans, the Scandinavians are 
oy far the most rural and the Latins and Greeks by far the most urban. Just two and 
one-half times as large a proportion of the Latin and Greek immigrants live in urban 
communities as of the Scandinavians. 
Turning now to a more detailed examination, attention is called to the peculiarities of the 
populations of the specified birthplaces. Of the North Western Europeans, immigrants 
from France and Switzerland are the most urban; the Belgians and the Dutch follow with 
dsetween 40 and 41 p.c.; the Germans and Icelanders are still less urban. The most rural 
of the immigrants from the northwest of Europe are the Swedes and Norwegians. Indeed, 
of all stocks the Norwegians and Swedes show the lareest percentages living in rural 
districts. 
Of the immigrants from South, Eastern and Central Europe, the percentage urban of 
the Greeks is most marked; in fact, of all immigrant peoples coming to Canada, the Greeks 
show the most marked tendency to concentrate in urban districts. The Italians also show 
a very high figure of urbanization, with something over 75 pe. of Italian immigrants living 
in incorporated cities, towns and villages. These two are in a class by themselves, in 
comparison with the other South, Eastern and Central Eurcpeans. Passing from the south 
to the east of Europe we find that the Poles are a very urban people, that the Russians 
show a proportion 7 p.c. higher than the percentage urban for the total population, and that 
the figure for Roumanians and Bulgarians is also slightly above the average for the whole 
of Canada. The least urban of all South. Eastern and Central Europeans are those born in
