The BC Demographic Survey: DIP Linkage Rates dataset provides information on data linkage between the 2023 BC Demographic Survey and other available datasets in the Data Innovation Program (DIP). Overall linkage rates are provided for each DIP administrative dataset, which indicate the percentage of records that can be linked to records from the BC Demographic Survey. This information will assist researchers exploring issues related to anti-racism in government in understanding how the Survey data can supplement their planned research using other administrative datasets in DIP. The data provided in this catalogue is also viewable in an accompanying dashboard: https://bcstats.shinyapps.io/bc-demographic-survey-dip-data-linkage-rates

The BC Demographic Survey: DIP Linkage Rates resources provide information on data linkage between the 2023 BC Demographic Survey and other available datasets in the Data Innovation Program (DIP). Overall linkage rates are provided for each DIP administrative dataset, which indicate the percentage of records that can be linked to records from the BC Demographic Survey. The summary and detail resources look at specific comparisons between a DIP dataset’s demographic variables (if present) and those from the survey, which is done at a high-level, as well as comparing the variable values themselves. This information will assist researchers exploring issues related to anti-racism in government in understanding how the Survey data can supplement their planned research using other administrative datasets in DIP.
