The Canadian Census is among one of the most important datasets used in geospatial applications, especially when considering demographic characteristics. Learning how to transform the static data of the census tables into maps using census geographies helps us gain a better understanding of the datasets. In this tutorial we will join a non-map census table with census geography layers. We will use this data to calculate new values and symbolize our geography.
