Canadian Marginalization Index (Postal Code metadata) - 1 - Canadian Marginalization Index (Postal Code metadata) - 1

CAN-Marg is multifaceted, allowing researchers and policy and program analysts to explore multiple dimensions of marginalization in urban and rural Canada. The index was developed using a theoreticalframework based on previous work on deprivation and marginalization. It was then empirically derived using principal components factor analysis. It has been demonstrated to be stable across time periods and across different geographic areas (e.g. cities and rural areas). It has also been demonstrated to be associated with health outcomes including hypertension, depression, youth smoking, alcohol consumption, injuries, body mass index and infant birthweight.Canadian Marginalization Index (CAN-Marg) data for 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 for dissemination areas are freely available in Excel format (CAN-Marg_EA_1991.xls; CAN-Marg_EA_1996.xls; CAN-Marg_DA_2001.xls; and CAN-MargDA_2006.xls). CANUE staff downloaded Excel files for 2001 and 2006 on March 15, 2018; data for 1991 and 1996 were downloaded on August 21, 2018 . ArcGIS was used by CANUE staff to associate the single link DMTI Spatial postal codes to the Statistics Canada dissemination or enumeration areas boundry files, and then join the CAN-Marg data to the postal codes, using dissemination or enumeration 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 CAN-Marg documentation, listed below under Supporting Documentation.
