Description
A geographic shape file of Nova Scotia’s Functional Economic Regions based on the 2021 census data. The most widely accepted approach to identifying functional economic regions is based on self-contained labour areas (SLAs) - a group of two or more Census Subdivisions (CSDs) where at least 75% of the workers both live and work in the area. Using Census data, Statistics Canada has identified Census Subdivisions (CSDs) that can be grouped together into SLAs based on daily commuting flows. The Office of Planning and Priorities has mapped these areas and created a GIS shape file that is intended to represent Nova Scotia’s functional economic regions.
