Data
One connected foundation.
The connected data foundation behind every Curbcut platform, harmonized across Canada, so you can ask one question at the national scale instead of stitching together hundreds of sources.

Canada-wide accessibility & travel-time engine
Travel-time matrices by car, public transit, bicycle and on foot, computed across the entire country. Answer accessibility questions without having to build your own routing engine.

Canadian zoning data
Residential municipal zoning bylaws harmonized under a common terminology. Rather than parsing hundreds of bylaws each written in their own terms, ask a single question at the national scale: permitted residential capacity, allowable heights, mixed uses, and more.

Harmonized Canadian censuses (1996 to present)
Every census since 1996 integrated into a single database, with automatic interpolation between geographies that change from one cycle to the next. Compare trends over nearly 30 years without manually reconstructing census-tract boundaries.
- 04
Custom Statistics Canada acquisitions, shared across all users
We regularly commission custom datasets from Statistics Canada (e.g. the annual T1FF file at the census-tract level). As soon as an order is delivered, it becomes available to users across all our platforms.

Harmonized CMHC housing dynamics
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation time series integrated Canada-wide and harmonized through time. Track residential construction, vacancy rates and average rents across several decades, and compare areas within your municipality.

Derived spatial indices (e.g. Active Living Potential)
Indicators produced by Curbcut’s research team and partner teams, integrated directly into the Curbcut platforms.

Our data ethics
Data is at the core of everything we do, and so is a critical look at how it’s made and used.
At Curbcut, data is at the core of everything we do. But we also recognize its limitations. We acknowledge that data can be incomplete, fragmented, or shaped by the way it is collected. For example, sources like the Canadian census provide snapshots rather than continuous information, which can lead to the over- or under-representation of certain groups.
That’s why we take a critical approach to data: questioning methodologies, identifying gaps, and ensuring that our analyses don’t reinforce inequalities or omissions. Our goal is to provide transparent, context-aware information that empowers decision-making.
