Simply Analytics

Getting started with Simlpy Analytics

SimplyAnalytics is a data visualization and mapping tool. It allows you to create maps or tables displaying Canadian demographic, business, and marketing data. You may find it useful for: 

  • analyzing census data (population, age, income, family size...) at different levels of geography
  • creating maps or tables displaying characteristics of people living in an area
  • identifying potential business locations and locating competitors in a local mark

Please note, access to SimplyAnalytics is limited to 5 Camosun users at a time.

The geographic boundaries available in SimplyAnalytics are borrowed mostly from Statistics Canada's Census geography. These boundaries include provinces/territories, census metropolitan areas (CMAs), census divisions, census subdivisions, census tracts, dissemination areas, and forward sortation areas. (Forward sortation areas are the first three characters of a postal code.)
