}Demographics API — common questions
What is the Demographics API?
It provides census-derived demographic profiles keyed by Forward Sortation Area (FSA) — ready for buyer profiles, neighbourhood guides and underwriting models.
What demographic dimensions are included?
Age distribution, household composition, tenure (owners vs renters), income brackets, education, employment by sector, commute times, median age, median household income and median dwelling value.
Can I look up demographics by postal code?
Yes — /demographics/find takes a postal code and uses the first three characters (the FSA) to return that area's demographic snapshot.
How granular is the demographic data?
Data is reported at the Forward Sortation Area level, which balances precision with privacy, and can be rolled up to the municipality level.
Are percentages pre-computed?
Yes. Computed-percentage helpers — like homeownership rate and age-distribution percentages — are returned as ready-to-display fields, so you don't have to do the math.
Does the Demographics API cover all of Canada?
Yes — every FSA in Canada has a full census-derived demographic profile.
