Compusearch Data:

Enhanced SNF (Street Network Files) is produced by Statistics Canada including street, roads, highways, shorelines, rivers, highway ramps, bridges, railways, canals, parks and other selected features have been enhanced to include missing address ranges (including estimates for "T?intersections") and street segments. The transportation routes are center?line files. Street names and address ranges are provided for each street vector segment in the file. AMF (Area Master Files) and SNF files exist for all large municipalities in 64 large urban areas. (CS-900)

* See also CanMap's Streetfiles & MapInfo's StreetInfo.

Compusearch Data:

1996 Census 2A includes over 650 variables covering: population by age, sex, marital status and mother tongue; households and dwellings by tenure, structural type, and size; and families by size, structure, presence/number of children and living arrangements. 2A data is based on the short form delivered to all Canadian households. (CS-700)

1991 Census 2B is based on the census long form distributed to 20% of Canadian households and includes detail on: population by home and official languages, ethnic origin, citizenship, place of birth, immigration, religion, mobility status, fertility, education, labour force activity, place of work, occupation, industry, and income; and households and dwellings by period of construction, need for repairs, rent and major payments. This file contains over 600 variables. (CS-710)

1986 Census includes over 150 variables from the 1986 census 2A and 2B files plus households, population and religion from the 1981 census. These datasets have been assigned to 1991 census EAs by Compusearch methodologists. This allows a seamless historical comparison for all major variables. (CS-720)

1996 Enumeration Areas (EAs) are geographic areas canvassed by one census representative. Because EAs are designed to minimize travel and optimize census representative work they usually follow easily recognizable physical features (such as the road network and rivers). They do not cross the boundaries of any other level of census geography. There are 45, 995 EAs with an average size of approximately 200 households. (CS-100)

*See also CanMap's Boundary files.

1996 Census Tracts (CTs) are permanent, small urban neighborhood-like or rural community-like areas in large urban-centered regions. Although the objective is for these areas not to change over time, there are some changes between censuses. There are 4,068 CTs with an average size of approximately 4,000 households. (CS-110)

*See also CanMap's Boundary Files.

1996 Census Subdivisions (CSDs) are municipalities or their equivalents (as determined by provincial legislation). They include cities, towns, villages, rural townships and Indian reserves. There are 6,006 CSDs in Canada. (CS-120)

*See also CanMap's Boundary Files & MapInfo's Canadian Census Subdivisions.

1996 Census Divisions (CDs) are aggregates of CSDs and are equivalent to counties in some provinces. There are 290 CDs. (CS-130)

* See also CanMap's Boundary Files & MapInfo's Canadian Census Divisions.

1996 Census Metropolitan Areas/Census Agglomerations (CMA/CAs) are core urban areas combined with adjacent urban and rural areas that have a high degree of economic and social integration with the urban core. CMAs are those areas with a core population of at least 100,000 while CAs have a smaller core population. There are 140 CMA/CAs. (CS-140)

1996 Block Face contains the population, latitude and longitude for block faces for larger urban areas. (CS-500)

Estimates and Projections are enhanced data sets derived using a combination of macroeconomic, demographic and geographic models. Data for the higher levels of geography (provinces and census divisions) are projected using a combination of cohort survival methods and macroeconomic modeling - taking into account economic variables including employment, real estate prices, the business climate, etc. (CS-730)

Tetrad Data:

Tetrad's 1996 Canadian Census Data contains the first data from the 1996 census available for use with PCensus Canada.

MapInfo Data:

Canadian Census Divisions are the largest Census unit boundary. The boundaries can be counties, regional districts, regional municipalities and similar types of geographic areas made up of groups of Canadian Census Subdivisions. Population, number of dwellings and size of a census are included in this file. (MI-120)

*See also CanMap's Boundary Files & Compusearch's 1991 Census Divisions.

Canadian Census Subdivisions (CSDs) are the second largest Census unit, larger than Enumeration Areas and smaller than Census Divisions. The Canadian Census Subdivisions are boundaries representing municipalities or their equivalent such as townships, Indian Reservations and unorganized territories. In Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and British Columbia, Census Subdivisions also describe geographic areas that have been created by Statistics Canada in cooperation with the provinces, as equivalents for municipalities. There are 6,006 CSDs in Canadian Census Subdivisions. The Population, CSD type, number of dwellings, square kilometers of the CSD and more are attached to each record. (MI-110)

Compusearch Data:

Consumer Spending Potential is a database that provides an estimate of the total dollars spent and average household expenditure on hundreds of items ranging from shelter to pet food and appliances to sporting events.

Modeled for small areas by Compusearch's methodologists, the CSP database is derived from the most recently available Statistics Canada's Family Expenditure Survey (FAMEX) National Recall Survey, Statistics Canada's Food Expenditure Survey, Compusearch's PSYTE segmentation system and current estimates of household income. Two databases are available:

1. Consumer Spending - General is a database which has 16 categories at a summarized level that in turn contains over 800 detailed spending items; for example: draperies, freezers, childcare, bookcases, plumbing maintenance, campgrounds, jeans, taxis, make?up and health insurance. (CS-740)
   
2. Consumer Spending - Food is a database which gives a highly detailed breakdown of total expenditures and average household expenditure on over 300 food items including restaurants and specialty stores. (CS-750)

Compusearch Data:

PSYTE is a system that helps marketers identify and understand current customers so they can locate and target individuals who "look" just like them. The PYSTE Segmentation system was built by experts using automotive and behavioral data from the Polk Company in conjunction with current year estimates derived by Polk from the 1996 U.S. Census.

Each descriptive segment or "cluster" in the PSYTE system represents a neighborhood type with a population that shares similar demographics, and distinct product and service consumption patterns.

This differs from the methodologies traditionally employed to create predictive demographic clusters. Most segmentation systems employ only data from the 1990 US census. The PSYTE system relies on household level input from Polk's 114 million record database of US households. In addition to adding the predictive value of actual consumer spending habits, the integration of the Polk household data provides valuable information on areas that have significantly changed since or perhaps did not even exist during the 1990 census.

PSYTE is Compusearch's new market segmentation system based on the 1991 Census. PSYTE provides marketers with distinct customer profiles for hundreds of products, automobiles, activities and media habits. It is the first Canadian segmentation system to incorporate behavioral data in addition to demographic and socio-economic variables. PSYTE databases are available at two summary levels:

PSYTE - Clusters has 60 clusters that are organized into 15 major groups. Each cluster is associated with one of four settlement types: Urban with 23 clusters, Suburban with 17 clusters, Towns with 8 clusters and Rural with 12 clusters. (CS-800)

PSYTE - Groups has 15 major groups. Each group is associated with one of four settlement types: Urban with 6 groups, Suburban with 5 groups, Towns with 2 groups and Rural with 2 groups. (CS-810)

Population, number of dwellings and latitude and longitude of each EA point is included. The Enumeration Area Points may be used with any of the Canadian Census boundary files. EAs in Canada are similar to Block Groups in the U.S. There are 45,995 EAPs in the Canadian Enumeration Area product. (MI-330)
