We use three socioeconomic indicators from Statistics Canada: Median Household Income, the Material and Social Deprivation Index (MSDI), and the Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD). An address is classified as a food desert if it is both beyond a 15-minute walk from a grocery store AND in the most deprived quintile (Q5) for at least one indicator. Read our full methodology
Our equity dashboard shows which demographic groups are disproportionately represented in food desert areas — with disparity ratios, population breakdowns, and key findings across multiple indicators.
