Semi-custom Profiles - 1971 and 1981 to 2016 Censuses
Service: 97C0002
Semi-custom tabulations allow users to replicate the data content of standard topic-based tabulations for custom geographies or a fixed profile for custom geographies or custom target groups. The fixed profile, which cannot be modified, contains a wide range of census characteristics in a compact and easy to use format. The data content is similar to, but not the same as, the standard profile published on our website. Semi-custom tabulations contain three types of tables, semi-custom profiles, target group profiles and semi-custom cross tabulations.
1. Semi-custom Profiles: 1971 and 1981 to 2016 Censuses
Semi-custom profiles replicate a fixed profile for custom geographies. This format allows for easy comparison of characteristics between geographies. The semi-custom profile content pertains to individuals, families, households, and dwellings. Additional costs apply for creation of custom geographies.
2. Target Group Profiles: 1991 to 2016 Censuses
Target group profiles replicate a fixed profile for a custom target group (such as a specific linguistic group). This format allows for easier analysis of the characteristics of a target group on its own. In addition to the target group, the geography desired can also be customized. The content pertains to the universe of individuals only (no family, household, or dwelling data are available). Additional costs apply for creation of the target group and for creation of any custom geographies. Note: target group profiles can only be created for the 1991 to 2016 censuses.
3. Semi-custom Cross-tabulations: 1971 and 1981 to 2016 Censuses
Semi-custom cross-tabulations enable users to replicate the content of published topic-based tabulations (TBT) data for the geographic area(s) and output medium of their choice.
Some topic-based tabulations provide a simple overview of the country, others consist of three or four cross-tabulated variables, and still others are of special or analytic interest.
The cost of each custom product is based on the time required to produce it according to the client's requirements. The hourly rate is $91.37
