Content of note…Content of note…SAAD: Economic Dependency SAAD: Economic Dependency RatiosRatios
Economic Dependency Ratio (EDR) Ratio of transfer payments to every $100 of total employment income. e.g. EDR of 18.64 means that $18.64 was received in transfer payments for every $100 of employment income for that area.
Provincial Index (Province = 100) & Canadian Index (Canada = 100)EDR expressed as a % of the EDR for the province. e.g. If EDR for an area has a provincial index of 114, that EDR is 14% higher than the provincial EDR. Same applies to Canada.
The place to go for detailed taxfiler information for small areas
Data broken down by gender, age, income, living arrangements, & more
Generally well documented (guides provided, but would have been nice to have definitions, footnotes, etc. in Excel Tables)

Tables include column for Postal Walk, but no data provided
Tables broken up into inconsistent ‘chunks’ (e.g. 1995-2001 then 1999-2003, and 1995-2000 then 2003… where’s 2002?)
Economic Dependency Profiles show up in a number of places… confusing

The only database that provides retail sales at a geographical level as small as the postal code.
Provides 5-digit NAICS codes starting in 1999.Census of companies registered as corporations.Possible to use these data to build econometric
models based on the retail sales variables. However, the strength of this database is cross-sectional rather than chronological analysis.
Its data follows closely the levels of data of annual and annualized monthly surveys.

Cannot be used for chronological analysis; postal code changes prevent this.Data published is dated.Many records are deleted for reasons of confidentiality (Duffett Rules).Data does not include non-incorporated stores, whereas the annual survey does.Comparison with other sources of retail sales information (monthly and annual
surveys (NAICS estimate)) at the FSA level is not possible and instead must be carried out at the provincial level.

Strengths:Vast array of data from a variety of sources
Weaknesses:Dated and dead. No new version of SABAL since 1996.Less detail (e.g. SARTRE has 5-digit NAICS, SABAL has 4-digit in Business Register)
