Place of Work - Communting Flow Tables for 2011

Question

A researcher is mapping potential flu epidemic scenarios and would like to use commuting to work distances at the CT level. In 2006, there were both standard products (97-561-XCB2006) and custom products (97c00) from DLI that covered place of work - commuting flows to Census Tracts. Are there similar 2011 NHS tables, or is this possible through custom tabs?

Answer

From the NHS, we have commuting flows only at the census subdivision level.

99-012-032 Commuting Flow - Census Subdivisions: Sex (3) for the Employed Labour Force Aged 15 Years and Over Having a Usual Place of Work <http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/global/URLRedirect.cfm?lang=E&ips=99-012-X2011032>

The CT commuting flows would only be available on a custom basis.
