2021 Federal Census Neighbourhood-Level Data File

After each federal census, the City places a custom order with Statistics Canada to produce neighbourhood-level cross sections of census data for Edmonton.

Statistics Canada provides their data in .ivt format. The benefit of this format is that it allows users to explore multi-dimensional datasets in a variety of cross tabulations. For example, an .ivt file that contains data for neighbourhood, age, gender and income could be used to generate a table of counts by neighbourhood, further broken down by both income and age group, by age group and gender, etc.

In order to provide this data to open data users as soon as possible, we have directly uploaded the .ivt files to our portal. Note that they are compressed into .zip format and will need to be extracted in order to be used.

You can open .ivt files with the Beyond 20/20 Professional Browser (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/public/beyond20-20), which is free to download. If you’re looking for some support on getting started using the software, Carleton University Library has a repository of resources (https://library.carleton.ca/guides/help/beyond-2020-how-use-beyond-2020) including video tutorials and PDFs.

联邦人口普查结束后，本市将向加拿大统计局定制订购，以生成埃德蒙顿地区层面的普查数据横截面。加拿大统计局提供的数据格式为.ivt，该格式的优势在于它允许用户通过多种交叉表的形式探索多维数据集。例如，一个包含邻里、年龄、性别和收入数据的.ivt文件可以用于生成按邻里划分的计数表，并进一步按收入和年龄组细分，按年龄组和性别细分等。为了尽快将此数据提供给开放数据用户，我们已直接将.ivt文件上传至我们的门户网站。请注意，这些文件已压缩成.zip格式，使用前需进行解压。您可以使用Beyond 20/20专业浏览器（https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/public/beyond20-20）打开.ivt文件，该浏览器可免费下载。如果您需要有关如何使用该软件的支持，卡尔顿大学图书馆拥有一个资源库（https://library.carleton.ca/guides/help/beyond-2020-how-use-beyond-2020），包括视频教程和PDF文件。
