Beyond urban and rural: Rethinking the social geography of Canada
Articles and reports: 75-006-X202500200003Description: Using smaller-level geographic classifications and well-being data from various waves of the Canadian Social Survey, this study aims to develop a more meaningful classification system beyond the traditional ‘urban-rural’ split which is often applied to Canadian geography. More specifically, this study takes a more nuanced look at the traditional urban-rural split by disaggregating at lower levels of geography in order to better understand geographical differences for select Quality of Life indicators, namely life satisfaction and sense of belonging to local community.
