Notes: Values reflect the counts, percentages and means for DAs assigned to each cluster group. Walk-to-work and active-transportation-to-work rates are based on Question 43 a) of the 2016 Census, which was asked to employed members of the labour force aged 15 and older with a fixed workplace address (“How did this person usually get to work?”). The sample size and percentage of the Canadian population do not add to all of Canada, as 500 DAs were omitted because dwelling density was not derived.
