New interactive maps help measure financial literacy in Canada

A new online tool allows users to measure the state of two crucial components of financial literacy—numeracy and document literacy—in more than 52,000 neighbourhoods and communities across the country.

The two new interactive maps produced by CCL in partnership with DataAngel Policy Research Inc., provide literacy profiles for neighbourhoods across Canada, highlighting at-risk communities where residents lack the basic literacy skills needed in today's knowledge-based society. These new literacy domains add to earlier maps CCL released on health literacy and prose literacy.
