  1. Create a New Project
  2. Enter the postal code as a location and select the corresponding Forward Sortation Area (for first 3 digits of a postal code) or Dissemination Area (for 6 digit postal codes) from the drop-down
  3. Select Create project without seed variables
  4. Choose the Map view
  5. Select a demographic variable using the Data tab (e.g. Income > # Households by Income $100,000 or over), then click Done to see the variable mapped on your location
  6. Select the "i" icon and click on the geographic area of interest to see a specific value for mapped data, rather than a range

Statistics Canada:

  • See the latest Census Profiles 2021: Search by place name or search a postal code to see demographic tables for corresponding geographic levels from province/territory to small dissemination areas.
  • Search using the StatsCan GeoSearch tool.
    • Use the map to zoom in to a location or search a location name/postal code using the search bar
    • Scroll below the map to view data and analysis on the area specified in the map including census profiles
