  • 1. Developing Meaningful Categories for Distinguishing Levels of Remoteness in Canada
    Articles and reports: 11-633-X2020002
    Description:

    The concepts of urban and rural are widely debated and vary depending on a country’s geopolitical and sociodemographic composition. In Canada, population centres and statistical area classifications are widely used to distinguish urban and rural communities. However, neither of these classifications precisely classify Canadian communities into urban, rural and remote areas. A group of researchers at Statistics Canada developed an alternative tool called the “remoteness index” to measure the relative remoteness of Canadian communities. This study builds on the remoteness index, which is a continuous index, by examining how it can be classified into five discrete categories of remoteness geographies. When properly categorized, the remoteness index can be a useful tool to distinguish urban, rural and remote communities in Canada, while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of citizens. This study considers five methodological approaches and recommends three methods.

    Geography: Census metropolitan area
    Description:

    This article looks at movements of persons aged 25 to 44 years between central municipalities and suburban municipalities in the country's three largest metropolitan areas - Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver. More specifically, the article presents socio-economic characteristics of persons most and least likely to leave the central municipality for a neighbouring municipality.

  • 6. The city/suburb contrast: How can we measure it? Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800110459
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In this article, we explore four possible approaches to the problem of differentiating between suburban neighbourhoods and central neighbourhoods in census metropolitan areas. The advantages and limits of the four approaches are discussed in detail. In the second part, we show, using census data and selected classification tools, how the various types of neighbourhoods differ in terms of population characteristics.
