Material and Social Deprivation Index (Postal...
The National Material and Social Deprivation Indices (MSDI) for all Canadian Census enumeration areas (now called dissemination areas) were downloaded July 21, 2017 by CANUE staff from the INSPQ website. The indices were provided in Excel spreadsheets named TableEquivalenceCompleteCanada1991.xlxs; TableEquivalenceCompleteCanada1996.xlxs; TableEquivalenceCompleteCanada2001.xlxs; TableEquivalenceCompleteCanada2006.xlxs; andTableEquivalenceCompleteCanada2011.xlxs. Data for 2016 were provided directly to CANUE by INSPQ.ArcGIS was used by CANUE staff to associate the single link DMTI Spatial postal codes to the Statistics Canada enumeration/dissemination area boundary file, and then spatially join the MSDI data to DMTI single link postal codes using enumeration or dissemination area as a unique identifier. There may be many postal codes within a single enumeration or dissemination area - these will have the same index values. CANUE staff translated the variable names from French to English and added a distance attribute (maximum distance from postal code centroid to boundary of census area).
