Interactive map

Every person, household, and property in the survey is associated with a settlement (quarter, village, city, etc). The above map shows these settlements as they have been identified primarily using the Kitchener map (published in 1885).

You can visualize the locations and the quantities of persons, households and of specific types of properties using this map. By selecting a variable in the top right map corner, a different thematic map is shown. You can click on a symbol for a quick summary of available data for that specific location.
