Census Profiles for BC Provincial Electoral Districts

Compilations of descriptive statistics from the Census of Population specific to British Columbia and each of its provincial electoral districts. These semi-custom Census Profiles include statistics describing age and gender, families and household types, housing, labour and income, immigration and citizenship, mobility and migration, commuting and place of work, education, ethnocultural and religious diversity, and languages (see **Related Links** for more information).

Annual Demographic and Income Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)

The previously posted tables have been removed and replaced to align with updated dissemination requirements. Since the 2022 redesign, dissemination standards for CCHS data have been reviewed and updated annually to reflect current methodological practices and reporting requirements. As a result, tables produced under earlier dissemination guidance may not fully align with current standards.

As a result, BC Stats has removed the data files from the BC Data Catalogue. A newly published dataset will be added once it is received from Statistics Canada.

Note: This change is effective as of February 10, 2026.

Trade in Services

This data uses Statistics Canada estimates of international trade in services as a foundation. It estimates B.C.’s portion using a custom BC Stats methodology and presents the results in the same classification used by Statistics Canada’s annual international trade in services data release. Data is provided annually for different service categories and partner countries.

Services cover a wide variety of transactions on products that are generally intangible in nature. Unlike physical goods, services aren’t reported by customs officials when they cross political borders. Nevertheless, Statistics Canada produces estimates based on information from many sources. Statistics Canada’s groups services into four broad categories (commercial services, government services, travel services and transportation services) and numerous sub-categories.

BC Cumulative Effects Framework - Human Disturbance - Archived

BC CEF Human Disturbance is a consolidated human disturbance footprint data set for provincial-scale spatial assessment in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support Cumulative Effects Framework (CEF) analysis in British Columbia (BC) Canada: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/cumulative-effects-framework. 

The data set was created from data with varying levels of quality, accuracy and completeness, and should not be used for site-specific analysis. No new information is included in this data set that does not already exist elsewhere. One example use of this data set is to coarsely summarize alpine vs. forest vs. urban areas at the regional scale. This data set was created by BC Government staff in absence of a single, authoritative, public-accessible and annually updated BC land classification data set.

Consolidated Local Health Areas Boundaries

Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs) Boundaries.  

B.C. Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs) are a health geography standard that partitions the province into distinct areas that support coordination of specialized care between Health Authorities and Primary Care. The province is divided into five Health Authorities, which are subdivided into 41 Consolidated Local Health Areas (CLHAs), which are subdivided into 231 Community Health Service Areas (CHSAs).

CLHAs encompass all of B.C., so the classification is exhaustive of all the land area in the province.

Stand Level Biodiversity - FREP - Current

FREP Stand Level Biodiversity dataset includes data collected by BC's NRD staff (data sampling up to 2025) across the Province using the Stand Level Retention protocol.

This dataset conveys the results of monitoring that has been carried out by the Forest and Range Evaluation Program[(FREP)](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/forestry/managing-our-forest-resources/integrated-resource-monitoring/forest-range-evaluation-program). FREP was established in 2005 for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the results-based _Forest and Range Practices Act_ [(FRPA)](http://www.bclaws.ca/Recon/document/ID/freeside/00_02069_01). FREP’s mission is to:

Assess the impacts of forest and range activities on the 11 FRPA resource values to determine of on-the-ground results are achieving government’s desired outcomes for these values;

Monitor and report on the condition of resource values, including trends and causal factors, and;

Identify opportunities for continued improvement of practices, policies and legislation.

FREP effectiveness evaluations are not intended to assess and report on compliance with legal requirements. They are science-based protocols to evaluate the condition of FRPA resource values on the ground, and the effectiveness of practices in conserving these values, intended to support professional dialogue and continuous improvement to forest and range practices.

The FREP Dashboard currently includes the results of monitoring carried out for riparian, water quality, stand level retention, cultural heritage, and visual quality across the province. Data for other values may be added over time.

B.C. Socioeconomic Index

The British Columbia Socioeconomic, Community, and Health Index (the Index) was developed to measure socioeconomic wellbeing across geographic areas in British Columbia.

The Index is one comprehensive measure that summarizes B.C.’s various data sources in an easy to access way, identifying the variation in wellbeing determinants across B.C. communities. This approach distills large amounts of data into a set of concise indicators to support evidence-based decision-making regarding investment, resource allocation, and policy intervention in the province. Additionally, the Index can support the evaluation of policy outcomes by tracking changes in socioeconomic conditions over time.

Two models were developed: The Longitudinal (L) Model: using fewer explanatory variables and fixed 
factor loadings to enable a trend comparison over time for each jurisdiction. The Detailed (D) Model: using all data available but only generated for more recent year(s). The Index is reported at both the Census Subdivision and Community Health Service Areas level. 

To capture the multidimensional nature of socioeconomic status, standardized indicators were grouped into four thematic domains: 
- Economic Domain indicators related to income, employment, and housing quality
- Education Domain covers metrics such as high school course mark, high  school completion rate, and educational attainment
- Health Domain encompasses indicators like prevalence of chronic conditions
- Community Domain reflects social cohesion and equity, including crime rates, ratio of single parents, and proportion of the population that is receiving income assistance.
