Analyzing Canadian Demographic and Housing Data
Building skills and community to analyze Canadian demographic and housing data.
This online book takes a problem-based approach to building the skills to work with Canadian demographic and housing data using R. The guide covers reproducible workflows for accessing and analysing data from Statistics Canada’s census and CANSIM tables, CMHC housing market surveys, and municipal open data, using packages like cancensus, cansim, and cmhc.
Worked examples walk through common analysis tasks — from neighbourhood demographic profiles to housing supply trends — with annotated R code that readers can adapt to their own questions.
