MobileScapes Out & About - Canada

MobileScapes Out & About identifies populations who are becoming more active as pandemic restrictions begin to ease. Discover who is starting to leave home as the economy re-opens, where they are going, and at what time of day. Use weekly monitoring reports to compare activity week-over-week or year-over-year to provide insights and inform recovery plans. This database is weighted to Household Population 15+ and is built at the Dissemination Area level, then rolled up to higher-level geographies. It is available by week-part (Mon–Fri, Sat–Sun, Mon –Sun) and day-part (eight day-parts).
