Significant changes were made to product build methodology and to the product file schema as part of the transition from PSYTE™ HD Canada (2024 and earlier releases):
- Table names, table structures, and field names were changed. Refer to the psyte_can_data_schema.xlsx workbook, included in the product delivery file, for additional information.
- The Dissemination Area file was restructured, which involved the addition and removal of several fields.
- The Postal Code file was restructured, which involved the addition and removal of several fields.
- The Benchmark file was restructured to align with new segment naming conventions, as well as with new content now being offered. The Benchmark file now contains household distributions by PSYTE™ Canada groups and segments for four geographic levels (Canada, Province/Territory, Census Division, and Census Metropolitan Area/Census Agglomeration).
- There is one table that contains labels and short descriptions of the segments.
- Files that previously accompanied each release and included Update Profile demographic summary by segment and segment [cluster] images are no longer provided with this product.
