  • Building layerCSV

  • Base layer - Census tractCSV

    This dataset includes the aggregate data displayed as layers in the Low-end of Market Rental Housing Monitor map and figures and charts displayed in the sidebar for all census tracts within the Vancouver Region. The dataset includes data from several data sources which have been cleaned, aggregated, and spatially joined by census tract.

  • Base layer - Forward sortation areaCSV

    This dataset includes the aggregate data displayed as layers in the Low-end of Market Rental Housing Monitor map and figures displayed in the sidebar and reports for all Forward Sortation Areas within the Vancouver Region. The dataset includes data from several data sources which have been cleaned, aggregated, and spatially joined by Forward Sortation Areas. Forward Sortation Areas are geographic representations of the areas covered by the first three characters of a postal code. Because the full six-character postal codes do not have an areal representation (they define linear postal carrier routes) and because postal codes are self-reported on the census, Forward Sortation Area boundaries can be highly irregular and they can be variable from census year to census year. To better align Forward Sortation Area boundaries with the Vancouver Region, some outlier Forward Sortation Areas have been cropped.
