This table was received from the Canadian Urban Sustainability Practitioners (CUSP) network as part of a collaboration with the Community Data Program. If you are interested in having access to these files, please contact information@communitydata.ca, with a description of the intended use for the data.

CUSP supports Energy Poverty Reduction Through Clean Energy Transformation by means of Local Energy Access Programs (LEAPs). LEAPs will help municipalities achieve their energy and emissions goals and targets, bring established and new technologies to help transition to clean energy, bolster the capacity of local organizations to develop and deliver energy access programs, and ensure that low and moderate income households benefit from decreased instances of energy poverty. 

Working within this project framework of LEAP, the Community Data Program Community Analytics Team has built a data access tool to monitor and report on indicators of urban sustainability, including first-of-its-kind nationwide community energy poverty measurements

More information on this project will be provided here as it becomes available.

The selected household demographic characteristics in this table includes: Age 25 plus and no certificate, diploma or degree
