In 2024, 10 urban/suburban and 2 rural grocery stores were selected in the costing sample across Ottawa to conduct the Nutritious Food Basket survey. A mixture of in-person and online costing was used. The 61 food items comprised in the Nutritious Food Basket is based on Canada’s food guide.

Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) This database was created to accompany the dashboard on HART's website called the "Federal Housing Needs Assessment Template." URL: https://hart.ubc.ca/federal-hna-template/. This dashboard presents housing-related data to help communities complete the Housing Needs Assessment template requested by the Government of Canada as a requirement for certain funding applications. For more information on that template, please visit the Government of Canada's website (https://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/housing-logement/hna-ebml/template-modele-eng.html).

Due to the variety of sources, the dataset is not complete for every CSD. The full list of data elements, their sources, and any methodological considerations can be found in the attached file "Federal-HNA-Template-Methodology.pdf". The other attached files have been named to correspond with the Data Elements listed in the methodology document on page 2. Each file contains data on all available geographies. Some files will have a letter after he number (i.e. "1a" and "1b") if there was more than one data table associated with a given data element. Some data will not be available until March 14, 2025, namely elements 3, 5, and 11.
