Query and Proximity Tools for Housing Data 

Instructions:  Query and Proximity Tools for Housing Data 

You can use the Query and Proximity Tools to extract housing data from the maps using either standard geographic areas of interest or a user defined area.  These tools extract data from a queriable housing layer that is not visible on the map (see the description of queriable layers, how they are constructed, and the other queriable layers that can be used with the query and proximity tools).   

 Here are two worked examples which will show you how to use these tools: 
Example 1:   Using the Query Tool to extract housing data within a 1 km buffer of  Gordon Bell High School: 
Steps: 
  1. Open up the Winnipeg Community Map
  2. Turn on the school layer and navigate to Gordon Bell High School (or any school). 
  3. Click on the Query Tool
  4. Choose the "Census Housing 2016" layer in the query layer picklist
  5. Click on the circular buffer tool, click and drag a 1 km buffer around  the school and release
  6. Click on the Get Results button, and then on Generate Report  
  7. A detailed housing report will then be generated
