Detailed 2016 Census Housing Data added to Portal

3/18/2019

Over the last 2 months, we have added a number of detailed housing layers onto the portal.  These provide information on core housing need and its components (% of households spending more than 30% on accommodation, housing suitability, major repairs required),  housing type, ownership, and  year of construction.    The data has been added in two formats.    

First,  we have added 2 separate map layers into both the Winnipeg and Manitoba maps.  These allow end-users to visualize using map overlays the % of households in core housing need and the % of households in unsuitable housing by small geographic area (dissemination area).    By overlaying administrative boundaries of interest, one can quickly see the patterns of housing adequacy within and between neighborhoods, electoral districts etc.   These layers are clickable so one can obtain detailed housing information for small geographies.

Second, we have added the same data as a queriable layer that allows the extraction and sumarization of detailed housing data for any user defined area in Winnipeg or Manitoba.   Using the query or proximity tool, one could for example, obtain detailed housing data for households living within 1 km of a school or community center, or alternatively housing data for 3 neighborhoods combined (e.g. West Broadway, Spence and St. Matthews combined). 
Click on the hyperlinks for instructions on how to use the query or proximity tools with the new housing layers,  or watch the on-line videos we have posted on how to these tools ( videos 9, 10, and 11).

10/24/2018

2 Comments

 
We have now launched a Transportation and Urban Design knowledge portal.   The purpose is to provide a knowledge base to engage and educate the public, and to inform policies and programs.   Urban design has broad impacts on the built environment, including transportation options.  This portal focuses on sustainable and active transportation including public transit, walking and cycling. 

The portal contains: 
  • Links to reports and data to relevant documents produced by the City of Winnipeg and by a wide range of community and stakeholder organizations
  •  Links to toolkits for action and relevant research
  • Interactive Data tools that facilitate:
    • Exploration of how walkability varies across  Winnipeg
    • Identification of the transportation mode that commuters in different parts of Winnipeg use to get work
    • Visualization of the most dangerous intersections where there have been collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists
    • Analysis of how convenient access to public transit in Winnipeg is
    • Temporal trends in a variety of active transportation ​indicators

We are now adding a series of Demographic Dashboards to the Manitoba Collaborative Data Portal.   These dashboards allow end-users to create visually appealing and detailed demographic profiles for both small and large geographic areas that can be exported as pdfs as well providing the capacity to export the underlying data. 

The initial dashboard which is now up and running provides detailed data on population size and age structure for the Winnipeg Health Region at the Community Area, Electoral District and Neighorhood levels.  Population counts can be further broken down by both income quintile and neighborhood walkability.   The data source is the 2016 Census.  See below for sample outputs

A queriable Census Ethnocultural Layer has now been added to both the Winnipeg and rural Manitoba maps. This layer allows the flexible extraction of data on the number of North American Aboriginals, Recent Immigrants and Visible Minorities using the Query and Proximity Tools.   

For example, one could user this layer to describe the ethnocultural characteristics of the population living within 2 kms of a school or community center, or alternatively in an Electoral Ward or Winnipeg neighborhood.  See below for sample outputs from this layer when data is extracted using either the Query or Proximity tools.

Low Income Dot Layer Updated with 2016 Census Data

10/16/2018

0 Comments

 
The Low Income dot layer on the Winnipeg Health Region map has been updated with data from the 2016 Census.   This layer is based on the Low-income measure , after tax (LIM-AT) method for classifying individuals as living in low income households.   A detailed definition of LIM-AT is available. (click on the hyperlink). 

The Low-income dot layer is a very effective tool for illustrating the location and magnitude of low-income populations in Winnipeg.   Each dot represents 5 individuals, and the the different color dots represent different age ranges (0-5 yrs, 6-17 yrs, 18-64 yrs, 65 plus). 

As shown below, there are low-income individuals living in all parts of Winnipeg
