2 1. Postal Codes 3 What are postal codes? An identifier managed by Canada Post Corporation for the efficient sorting and delivery of mail. They are not created as units for the analysis or mapping of population, business or dwelling characteristics. However, postal codes are part of most administrative data sets and are usually the only variable available for geographic identification Thus, they are important identifiers for geocoding 4 2
3 Components of a postal code The postal code is a six-character alphanumeric code Postal codes are not geographic attributes Only spatial in that mail is delivered by geographic area Six character code ANA NAN First 3 Forward Sortation Area (FSA) Last 3 Local Delivery Unit (LDU) Statistics Canada.

5 Components of a postal code Haydu G. The Postal Code Geographic classification code conversion file, a tool for social science research. Paper presented at the 1979 annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Geographers, Victoria, BC, Canada. 9 How can postal codes be used for analysis Postal codes are part of most administrative data sets PCCF, PCCF+, and related tools are now the standard Allows for the conversion of address and postal code attributes to standard geographical codes Used in data collection, processing, and analysis, e.g., dissemination area (DA), census tract (CT), health region (HR) Resulting small-area geography have a variety of uses Familiarity with the methods, strengths, and limitations will help researchers exploit the potential 10 5
6 Uses of small area data Add policy relevance by aggregating to admin areas Health Regions, School Districts, etc Deal with changes over time (boundary shifts) Assign neighbourhood socio-economic status (SES) and other confounders Determine point-distance, road distance, travel time Allow for studies of migration over time (longitudinal) Help in the imputation of missing data Obtain additional identifiers for record linkage Introduction to the PCCF and PCCF+ 12 6
7 What is the PCCF? A flat file that links postal codes (active and retired) to standard geographic areas Allows for: Association of postal codes to standard geographic areas Selection of statistical units by geographic areas Provides linkages (including a single link indicator (SLI)) to block face (BF), dissemination block (DB), and dissemination area (DA) However, some postal codes are only linked to post office locations, many serve multiple DAs, and some are non-residential (government offices, etc) Statistics Canada. Postal Codes Conversion File (PCCF), Reference Guide. Catalogue no G, no 02. Ottawa, ON: Statistics Canada, What is the PCCF+? The PCCF+ consists of: 1. SAS control program, 2. reference files primarily derived from the PCCF 3. postal code population-weight file derived from the Census of Population Assigns geographic identifiers based on postal codes Full diagnostic output (troublesome postal codes, precision of geocoding, etc.) Provides residential & institutional coding separately Wilkins R, Peters PA. PCCF+ Version 5K User s Guide: Automated geocoding based on the Statistics Canada Postal Code Conversion File. Catalogue no. 82F0086-XDB. Ottawa, ON: Statistics Canada,
8 Importance of Identifying Non-residential PCs PCCF+ is able to identify non-residential postal codes Government Offices, e.g., Statistics Canada Coroners Offices Children s Aid Societies Hospitals in a Birth File Tax preparers office in a Tax File UPS Store, Mailboxes Etc, 15 How does the PCCF+ geocode postal codes? Assigns geographic identifiers based on postal codes in a staged approached: 1. assigns 6-digit postal codes in rural areas to disseminations areas (DA) and dissemination blocks (DB) using populationweighted random allocation 2. assigns 6-digit postal codes with an exact match to a PCCF unique record 3. randomly assigns 6-digit postal codes with an exact match to a PCCF duplicate record 4.imputes full geography for the first 5-, first 4- and first 3- digit postal codes using census population weights 5. imputes partial geography for the first 2-digit postal codes Wilkins R, Peters PA.

9 Uses of the PCCF and the PCCF+ A 2011 literature review for publications using the PCCF and PCCF+ resulted in 622 publications Health Sciences 463 (74%) Social Sciences & Economics 93 (15%) Education, data, & statistics 34 (6%) Natural & applied sciences 12 (2%) Other 20 (3%) Articles appeared in 233 different journals, top two: Canadian Medical Association Journal (23) Canadian Journal of Public Health (19) Peller P. An analysis of the Postal Code Conversion File s use in research. DLI research paper series, Calgary, AB: University of Calgary PCCF-SLI vs. PCCF+ 18 9
10 Single-link (PCCF-SLI) vs. PCCF+ PCCF-SLI forces each postal code to be assigned to a single dissemination area (DA) & dissemination block (DB), regardless of how large the actual service area may be For most research purposes, the distribution of the population across the entire service area is needed PCCF+ uses a population-weighted method of geocoding where multiple-matches are possible As such, the distribution of respondents more accurately reflects the underlying population Numerator-denominator consistency 19 A1A 1A1 DA 1 60% DA 2 30% DA 3 10% PCCF (SLI) PCCF+ A1A 1A1 A1A 1A Of 10 records reporting this postal code, all 10 will be assigned to DA 1 using the PCCF single link indicator (SLI) 20 Of 10 records reporting this postal code, 6 will be assigned to DA 1, 3 to DA2 and 1 to DA 3 using the PCCF+ 10

12 Population non-assignment via PCCF-SLI & PCCF+ Percent of total 2006 census population in areas with no respondent assignment Geographic Unit PCCF-SLI PCCF+ # of Units Percent of Population # of Units Percent of Population DA 8, CT CMA CSD 1, CD Population assignment using PCCF-SLI Gatineau Ottawa 24 12
13 Population assignment using PCCF+ Gatineau Ottawa 25 Population miss-assignment using PCCF-SLI & PCCF+ Comparison of population coding errors using PCCF-SLI versus PCCF+ (5J)* Geographic Unit PCCF PCCF+ % of total population % of total population DA CT CMA CSD CD * Population coding errors are defined as the sum over all areas at this geographic level of the absolute value of the population coded less the population known from the census sample, expressed as a percentage of the total population in all areas at this level
14 Limitation of SLI (e.g., 2001 Census Geography) Over a third of the total population of rural and small town Canada can never get the correct dissemination area (DA) code when using the PCCF SLI since nearly 11,000 DAs are never linked to postal codes when only the SLI is selected. Also at the census subdivision (CSD) level, over a quarter of all CSDs never get coded using SLI. In rural and small town Canada, nearly 30% of CSDs never get coded using the SLI Why PCCF+? 28 14
15 Why PCCF+ and not regular PCCF (with SLI=1)? 1. Population weighted approach 2. Supplemental coding 3. Postal codes less than perfect 4. Documentation and diagnostics 5. Modifiable SAS code 6. Vintage of postal codes 7. Postal codes used by residents for incompletely enumerated Indian Reserves 29 Why PCCF+? 1: population weighting Almost all rural and several urban categories of postal code provide service to multiple dissemination areas (DAs), census subdivisions (CSDs), etc Use of the single link indicator (SLI) equal to 1 in PCCF forces any occurrence of a postal code to only one set of geocodes Using single-link approach introduces systematic bias PCCF+ probabilistically assigns each postal code record using census derived population weights 30 15
16 Why PCCF+? 2: supplemental coding ID, PCODE PR, CD, CSD, CCSD CMA, CT, MIZ, ER, FED DA, BLK BLKURB*, DPL* LAT, LONG PCCF-SLI & PCCF+ * Poorly coded and not recommended for analytic use 31 Why PCCF+? 2: supplemental coding ID, PCODE PR, CD, CSD, CCSD CMA, CT, MIZ, ER, FED DA, BLK BLKURB*, DPL* LAT, LONG PCCF-SLI & PCCF+ HR, AHR QAIPPE, IMMTER CSIZE, NSREL, AIRLIFT, AR EA81uid, EA86uid, EA91uid EA96uid, DA01uid, DA06uid, DA11uid PCCF+ only * Poorly coded and not recommended for analytic use 32 16
17 Why PCCF+? 3: postal codes less than perfect Most files will include some postal codes that never existed (reporting or data capture errors) Sensitive files may omit the last digit of the postal code Some files may only contain the first 3 digits of the postal code PCCF+ can be used to geocode the above information 33 Why PCCF+? 4: documentation & diagnostics Output is documented with user manual and version Method has been validated in many publications Diagnostic codes for problem codes are provided Two outputs: Full file & Problem File DMT, DMTDIFF LINK (PROB) SOURCE NCSD, NCD RESFLG, INSTFLG RPF, SERV, PREC BLG NAME + ADR CSDNAME + TYPE CPCCODE This variable provides a measure of the quality of the geographic coordinates assigned to the representative point 34 17
18 Why PCCF+? 5: Modifiable SAS code Length of ID variable can be changed SAS code can be easily tweaked so results are exactly reproducible Define a specific kernel for probabilistic assignment /********************************************************************************************/ /* Random Seed Value */ /* If the seed value is 0 (default) then computer time is used */ /* Change this value as desired to use the same seed between PCCF+ trials */ %let seedval=0; 35 Why PCCF+? 6: Vintage of postal codes PCCF+ assigns full census geography for most recent census year It also assigns dissemination (DA) area or enumeration area (EA) from each previous census back to 1981 Useful for time-varying analysis For higher levels of vintage geography (e.g., CMA) use the Geographic Attributes File (GAF) or the Geographic Tape File (GTF) 36 18
19 Why PCCF+? 7: Indian Reserves Your file includes postal codes used by residents of incompletely enumerated Indian Reserves These postal codes will not properly be coded by PCCF-SLI PCCF+ includes census population weights adjusted to account for estimates of the population living on the incompletely enumerated reserves 37 Summary: PCCF+ vs PCCF-SLI Consider using PCCF+ rather than PCCF-SLI if any of the following apply You want to do better coding in rural areas You want to use variables present on the PCCF+ which are not present in regular PCCF Your file is less than perfect with respect to postal codes You want help to evaluate the quality of the postal code on your data file The vintage of the postal codes on your file spans more than one census If your file includes postal codes used by residents of incompletely enumerated Indian Reserves 38 19
20 4. Limitation of the PCCF-SLI & the PCCF+ 39 Limitations with PCCF-SLI & PCCF+ In rural areas and at urban fringe, probabilistic assignment leads to random misclassification of dissemination area (DA) and neighbourhood income quintiles Reduced ability to detect effects in rural areas Lower risk ratios (RRs) and risk differences (RDs) for epidemiologic studies This is effect modification not confounding, so it is recommended to stratify analysis by urban & rural Take care in interpreting lower effect estimates in rural versus urban areas 40 20
21 Limitations with PCCF and PCCF+ Postal codes may change over time 1. Many technical changes to address ranges Usually no change at block-face of block level Very little change at higher levels 2. Some reuse of retired postal codes within same FSA 3. Two FSA in British Columbia moved in mid-90s Generally, these changes translate to no change of the block face (BF) or dissemination block (DB) latitude/longitude very little change at higher levels (dissemination area (DA), census tract (CT), etc.) Moral code as received and interpret the output 41 Concluding remarks Small-area geography & spatial coordinates are part of most data sets and useful in most studies Familiarity with methods, limitations, and interpretation of data helps researchers more meaningfully exploit data potential It is not enough to use the data mechanically, users need to think about what they are doing and why Consult the PCCF+ documentation 42 21
