A new online map is making data about average household income, employment status and education in different New Brunswick neighbourhoods more accessible.
The map was launched earlier this month by the Human Development Council, a group based in Saint John that aims to identify and address social issues in the province through research.
“This kind of data is useful for a whole bunch of projects and work that goes on in a province,” said Liam Fisher, the group’s data analyst and research coordinator.

“Every regional service commission has a community developer, cities have social inclusion teams, all kinds of initiatives are targeted and place-based.”
