The Social Vulnerability component of the National Human Settlement Layer (NHSL) includes information about broad spatial patterns of social vulnerability at the neighbourhood scale, and indicators about the capacities for a community to withstand and recover from disaster events based on intrinsic characteristics of housing, family structure, individual autonomy and financial agency.Information in the model provides a means of comparing relative levels of social vulnerability from one region to another across Canada and helps to identify specific dimensions within a community that contributes to their relative levels of social vulnerability. This information is not intended for site-specific study, but instead to understand broad patterns of social characteristics and vulnerability across multiple census dissemination areas.

The Community Well-Being (CWB) Index is a method of assessing socio-economic well-being in Canadian communities. Various indicators of socio-economic well-being, including education, labour force activity, income and housing, are derived from Statistics Canada's Census of Population and combined to give each community a well-being "score". These scores are used to compare well-being across First Nations and Inuit communities with well-being in other Canadian communities. Indicator values may be missing for a community because of non-participation in the census, inadequate data quality, or insufficient population size.

List of projects and/or buildings associated with off-market housing. Inventory built from various data sources of varying quality in the early 2000s and maintained since then on an annual basis. Data used to better understand the supply of non-market housing in the territory. Off-market housing corresponds to all housing owned by an entity that does not aim to make a profit: NPO, cooperative, government, paramunicipal company. The data is categorized by type of project, namely: HLM: Public housing managed by the Office municipal d'habitation de Montréal, whose rent is fixed at 25% of household income. This category includes the Corporation des Habitations Jeanne-Mance. OMHM: Affordable public housing resulting from projects by the Office municipal d'habitation de Montréal outside the HLM program and managed in a form similar to NPOs with the participation of residents. SHDM: Public and affordable rental housing belonging to the Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal and whose projects may be managed by an NPO. NPO: Rental housing owned and managed by a non-profit organization and aimed at customers who have difficulty finding adequate housing. NPOs sometimes offer community support to their tenants. Coop: Housing owned by a cooperative that leases them to its members. Cooperatives aim to offer quality housing at affordable prices while promoting socio-economic diversity in projects. Anjou80: Affordable rental housing owned by the Anjou 80 organization.More information on the subject is available on [the City of Montreal's website] (https://montreal.ca/articles/repartition-des-logements-sociaux-et-communautaires-17858).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Over the last year, Statistics Canada (StatCan) and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) have collaborated on the implementation of a set of proximity measures to services and amenities. CMHC funded this collaboration to generate data and analytical work in support of the National Housing Strategy.The result of this collaboration is the first nation-wide Proximity Measures Database (PMD). This database is now available as an early release to meet urgent information needs of departments and other stakeholders across Canada who are dealing with the COVID-19 crisis. The current situation involving COVID-19 emphasizes the importance of having timely and accessible information available to the public at all levels of government. Proximity measures developed for this project are relevant to the current situation by providing a wealth of information (at the granular level) in terms of proximity to health facilities, pharmacies and other essential services/amenities that can be used to make rapid informed decisions at different geographical levels.WARNING: This map contains detailed data which makes it heavy to load.

This regulation aims to improve the supply of social, affordable and family housing in the city.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The National Human Settlement Layer (NHSL) is a collection of thematic datasets that describe the physical, social and economic characteristics of urban centres and rural/remote communities across Canada, and their vulnerability to natural hazards of concern. Detailed information on land use, buildings, people and capital assets are provided at the Census Dissemination Area administrative level for more than 454,000 settled areas across Canada. The Physical Exposure Layer includes a delineation of human settlement areas and related functional land use classes across Canada, and provides detailed information on construction type, occupancy and design level of more than 9.1 million buildings; population dynamics at different times of day for 35.1 million people, and; capital asset valuation of buildings and contents totaling more than 8.3 trillion CAD$. The Social Fabric Layer utilizes Census demographic data to evaluate broad spatial patterns of vulnerability, and neighbourhood-level capacities to withstand and recover from disaster events based on intrinsic characteristics of housing, family structure, individual autonomy and financial agency.Although developed to support quantitative risk assessments and implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction at local and regional scales in Canada, the NHSL is also suitable for use in other integrated landscape modeling applications, including climate change adaptation and sustainable land use planning.
