Canadian Access to Employment (Postal Code...
Measures of access to employment, circa 2016, for the census dissemination areas in eight largest urban regions in Canada were created by Jeff Allen and Steven Farber at the University of Toronto SAUSY Lab. Measures of access to employment are key indicators for analyzing the characteristics of transport networks and urban form. Metrics include cumulative measures (number of jobs reachable within 30, 45, and 60 minute commutes), gravity measures, as well as a competitive measure of accessibility which is standardized to allow for comparisons between regions. These are generated at the census Dissemination Area level for two travel modes, car and transit, including accounting for minute-by-minute variations in transit schedules. The code to generate this data is openly on GitHub (see Supporting Documentation).ArcGIS was used by CANUE staff to associate the single link DMTI Spatial postal codes to the Statistics Canada dissemination areas boundary files, and then join the Access to Employment data to the postal codes, using dissemination area unique identifiers. There may be many postal codes within a single dissemination area - these will have the same index values and may not be suitable for summation, etc. Please refer to the Supporting Documentation.
