Dimensions of deprivation among victims and accused involved in police-reported hate crime incidents, by quintile rank, Canada, 2009 to 2022
Note(s):
The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) is an area-based index which uses Census of Population microdata to measure four key dimensions of deprivation at the dissemination area (DA)-level: residential instability, economic dependency, situational vulnerability and ethno-cultural composition. The CIMD groups several variables into thematic components, reflected by component scores. These component scores are then divided into five equally sized groups (quintiles), categorized from 1 to 5. A value of 1 corresponds to areas that were the least deprived for that dimension, and a value of 5 corresponds to areas that were the most deprived. Deprivation speaks to variables which have been associated with socioeconomic or systemic deprivation or marginalization. Victim and accused information includes victims and accused persons involved in police-reported hate crime incidents from 2009 to 2022 where address information was available. The related DA index score was then linked to the individual. Where an individual appeared multiple times with different addresses, the average of the quintile scores across DAs was used. General population information was derived from the national-level index dataset for 2021, indicating the proportion of the total population within a given quintile score for each dimension. The index excludes the territories and provincial DAs with populations less than 40 or with a total non-response rate greater than or equal to 50%.
