Boundary File of Nova Scotia’s Self-contained Labour Areas (2021)

A geographic shape file of Nova Scotia’s Functional Economic Regions based on the 2021 census data. The most widely accepted approach to identifying functional economic regions is based on self-contained labour areas (SLAs) - a group of two or more Census Subdivisions (CSDs) where at least 75% of the workers both live and work in the area. Using Census data, Statistics Canada has identified Census Subdivisions (CSDs) that can be grouped together into SLAs based on daily commuting flows. The Office of Planning and Priorities has mapped these areas and created a GIS shape file that is intended to represent Nova Scotia’s functional economic regions.

基于2021年人口普查数据的Nova Scotia功能性经济区域地理形状文件。识别功能性经济区域的最广泛接受的方法是基于自包含劳动区域（SLA）——即由两个或两个以上的统计区划（CSD）组成的一组区域，其中至少75%的劳动者在该区域内居住和工作。利用人口普查数据，加拿大统计局已识别出可按每日通勤流量归入SLA的统计区划（CSD）。规划与优先事项办公室已绘制这些区域，并创建了一个GIS形状文件，旨在表示Nova Scotia的功能性经济区域。
