The Community Information Database was developed
collaboratively by the Rural Secretariat, provinces, territories, other
federal departments, and community groups. It is a free on-line web-based
resource intended to help users quickly capture demographic/socio-economic data for specific or
multiple geographic regions from an interactive map.
Users may click their mouse on a region on
the interactive map to generate a popup table containing the data they have
selected. Data in the popup table can be printed, or saved to file
Alternatively users
can query a database of demographic/socio-economic indicators by region and download tables or graphics to spreadsheets or
files
This site provides users with a consistent, reliable,
and accessible source of statistical indicators at the community level in Canada.
The data is sourced mainly from Statistics Canada’s Censuses of Population
in 1996 and 2001.
