Do you suppose it could mean that the birthday had already occurred that year, or that it hadn't? Just a guess.

Subject: [nscumber] 1921 Census - brackets around age
I have taken a very quick look at the 1921 census for Oxford and for Parrsboro. In both cases, the ages for many people are contained within brackets. At first, I thought that might indicate an "estimated" age... but now realize there are far too many bracketed ages. Does anyone have a better guess?
