Urban Sprawl (Postal Code Metadata) - 1

The Sprawl Score was calculated for Canadian census tracts in 2011 and 2016 by Drs. Henry Luan and Dan Fuller. The score is based on indicators of urban form in four categories - density (population density, gross employment density); centering ( variation in dissemination area populations within census tracts, variation in dissemination area employment density within census tracts); land use (land use mix); and street accessibility (mean land area of dissemination areas within census tracts, percentage of small dissemination areas within census tracts, intersection density, and percentage of 4-or-more way street intersection with census tracts). Bayesian spatial factor analysis was used to combine all indicators into a standardized score. ArcGIS was used by CANUE staff to associate single link DMTI Spatial postal codes to the sprawl score data. All postal codes within a single census tract are assigned the same sprawl score values.
