Description
SimplyAnalytics (formerly SimplyMap) is an online data mapping and reporting application which provides University of Toronto users with access to hundreds of demographic variables covering the Canadian population. These include detailed census, health, household spending, crime, digital lifestyle (social media usage, mobility, devices, etc...) and other marketing related data. Business location points and profiles are also available.
SimplyAnalytics data can be mapped at a variety of census geographies from across provinces to local neighbourhood census tracts and dissemination areas. Users can export their maps into a variety of formats, including ESRI Shapefile, or customize their data into tables for export into Excel, CSV, or PDF.

Access
SimplyAnalytics can be accessed through a “Guest” account, however any queries, maps, or tables created will not be saved. For optimal usage, University of Toronto users are advised to create their own account with a log in and password. This will allow your work to be saved and you can return to the same settings.
When creating your SimplyAnalytics account, please use a “utoronto” or “mail.utoronto” email address. Other email addresses will not be recognized by SimplyAnalytics.
