Community wellbeing indices

ISC Community Well-Being (CWB) scores — education, labour force, income, and housing components — for over 1,200 Canadian communities. Track wellbeing gaps across your region.

Core housing need

Statistics Canada core housing need rate per FSA — the percentage of households in housing that is unaffordable, overcrowded, or in disrepair. 2021 Census data, national coverage.

Deprivation scores

Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) 2021 — residential instability, economic dependency, situational vulnerability, and ethno-cultural composition quintiles per dissemination area.

Commuting & transportation

StatCan Journey to Work data: top commuting destinations, dominant mode split (drive / transit / walk / cycle), average duration, and transit frequency by time of day.

Infrastructure proximity

StatCan Proximity Measures Database (PMD) 2021 — numeric access indices for grocery, transit, healthcare, pharmacy, parks, education, employment, and more at dissemination block level.

Land use constraints

Agricultural Land Reserve status, protected areas (CPCAD), Indigenous reserve boundaries, and Metro Vancouver Urban Containment Boundary — relevant for development feasibility and policy analysis.
