An Education researcher here wants to work with data at the DA level that describes dwelling characteristics including rental costs, housing values, tenure.
While he may find suitable data through dwelling Variables in the RDC using the 2006 and 2016 Census files, and the 2011 NHS he was wondering how he may access data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP).
His questions on the CHSP are as follows:
- What reference periods are available
- If the program does not go back earlier than 2017, did another program collect comparable data?
- Will a PUMF be produced under this program?
- He may wish to explore a Custom Tabulation, if so would data at the DA level on the above noted dwelling characteristics (and possibly additional variables) be available?
Answer:
I’ve received the following response from subject matter:
What reference periods are available
- 2018
If the program does not go back earlier than 2017, did another program collect comparable data?
- The Census is likely the best source.
Will a PUMF be produced under this program?
- This is not planned.
He may wish to explore a Custom Tabulation, if so would data at the DA level on the above noted dwelling characteristics (and possibly additional variables) be available?
No, the CHSP provides data at the CSD level and above.
