PSYTE Canada Advantage

The most accurate snapshots of Canadian Neighbourhoods.

PSYTE Canada Advantage is MapInfo's all new geodemographic segmentation system that classifies Canadian neighbourhoods into mutually exclusive lifestyle groups – or “clusters” based on select geodemographic metrics and indicators of consumer behaviour.

PSYTE Canada Advantage is the product of an evolution in cluster analysis. MapInfo re-engineered the cluster analytic process with industry leading spatial technology, modern cluster modeling, and a phased approach that enables achievements in accuracy and customization previously unavailable in the general marketplace. PSYTE Canada Advantage provides levels of insight far beyond basic demographics and exceeds the efficacy of previous generations of clusters by leaps and bounds.

PSYTE Canada Advantage is built on a 2001 Canadian Census base and various quality ingredients combined in a state-of-the-art cluster build environment. The resultant clusters represent the most accurate snapshots of Canadian neighbourhoods ever assembled. PSYTE Canada Advantage characterizes Canada via 65 “clusters” or neighborhood types and 15 major groups. Each cluster is unique – in terms of key demographics, consumer behavior, media preferences, lifestyle and location.
