}Neighbourhood Data API — common questions
What is the Neighbourhood Data API?
It provides curated, editorial content for each neighbourhood — short descriptions, fun facts and market notes — tied to the boundary hierarchy and built for guide pages and SEO.
Can I build neighbourhood guide pages with it?
Yes. It's designed for programmatic, SEO-ready location landing pages, combining editorial content with demographics, boundaries and schools.
How do neighbourhood URLs and slugs work?
Slug-based lookups via /location_by_slug resolve human-readable paths (like ca/on/toronto/liberty-village) to the correct place in the hierarchy — clean URLs instead of opaque IDs.
Does neighbourhood data include demographics?
Each neighbourhood ties into FSA-level demographics and its boundary, so a guide page can show population, tenure and market context alongside the editorial content.
What content is provided per neighbourhood?
Curated descriptions, fun facts and market notes, plus tags and a featured image where available — everything you need for a rich guide page.
Is neighbourhood content available across Canada?
Coverage is Canada-wide through the boundary hierarchy, with curated content expanding across neighbourhoods.
