1986 FED

Question

A student needs FED profile data from the 1986 census for the FED boundaries set in 1987. This is for FEDs in the Census Division of Toronto.

The print volumes from the 1986 census are for the 1976 R.O. and the CD-ROM does not have FED data on it (and it would probably be for 1976 R.O. anyway).

If anyone has access to this data either in print or electronically or if it could be made available via DLI?

The other thought I had was to compare FED boundaries for 1976 RO and 1987 RO for Toronto CD and see how extensive the changes were. Stat Can DLI ftp site has one boundary file under 1986 census FED but it does not state what RO it is. I did download it and U. of T's 1987 RO file and they looked to be identical for Toronto.

Need confirmation as to the RO of the 1986 boundary file on the DLI site if possible.

Answer

The data that was published in 1986 was based on the 1976 FED Representation Order boundaries.
