Simply Analytics

SimplyAnalytics is a mapping tool and statistical analysis 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 market

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. Examples of boundaries include provinces/territories, census metropolitan areas, census subdivisions, forward sortation areas (the first three characters of a postal code), and dissemination areas. To visualize the differences, see the examples on the 'Census geography in pictures' page.

When you launch Simply Analytics, you will be shown a very brief and basic tutorial on how the tool works. It is helpful; give it a try.
