Average weight of women by CSD

Question

I have a student who is looking for the average weight of women in the town in Ontario that she lives in, Georgina, ON. From the CCHS, I can get to the geography level of the Health Region (Simco, York), but I can't seem to go to the actual town level. I can get the BMI, but I'm not sure about the actual weight--the PUMF does have a variable for self-report weight and a variable for measured weight.

Is there any other survey that collects weight and provides geography to the level of the town? (In this case Georgina is a CSD)

Answer

Statistics Canada does not have a product that would break down weight level down to the level of CSD (Georgina, ON). The lowest level of geography would be the Health Region (Simco, York).

  1. Thanks for any other great post. Where
    else could anybody get that type of information in such a perfect means of writing?
    I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for
    such information.
