These data products present a complete financial picture of Canadian households. Household Wealth and Assets describes the financial wellbeing of Canadian households, Household Financial Skills and Capacities describes the skills and knowledge Canadians use to manage their finances and plan for the future, and Household Financial Patterns describes their financial behaviour.

  • Household Financial Patterns*

    *This marketing research information is the result of Manifold’s models using Numeris RTS Canada survey, it is not intended to duplicate Numeris data.

    This database describes consumer’s financial and banking behaviour. Each 6-digit postal code is associated with a propensity score measuring likelihood of consumers

    • Having personal savings/investments by dollar range
    • Having personal debts by dollar range
    • Banking regularly or occasionally with major institutions
    • Using investment institutions and financial advisors
    • Owning various financial products and plans
    • Using ATM, debit, quick pay, telephone and online banking and trading and by frequency
    • Contributing to RRSP by dollar range
    • Donating to charities by dollar range
    • Owning and using credit cards
    • Holding and switching insurance products

     

    This data product is based on the Return-To- Sample survey conducted by Numeris (formerly Bureau of Broadcast and Measurement) twice a year with sample size of over 100,000 responders stratified across Canada. We datamined robust and useful patterns of consumers’ financial behaviour in the survey data. Thereafter, we combined them with the geo-demographic predictors such as location, income, education, family, home ownership, culture, life stage and lifestyle, and built propensity models to predict consumers’ banking habits and usages of financial and insurance products. The propensity score reveals with whom the consumers likely do their banking (RBC, TD, CIBC, …) and investments, what credit cards they use and insurance products they own.


    Financial institutions and credit card companies use this data product to perform trade area, customer profile, and competitive analysis; estimate market potential and develop targeted acquisition programs.

Methodology

Tooltip text

Data fusion with stratified sampling techniques. Strata based on the Survey of Financial Security and the Canadian Financial Capability Survey from Statistics Canada are linked to the strata derived from demographic information at the postal code geographic level. Thereafter, income, debt and asset patterns are modeled from survey data to general population. Structural coherence is essential in selecting geographic level and the integration process. We have applied techniques from statistics, dynamics, data mining and other disciplines, including multi-staged and adaptive nonlinear methods for dimension reduction, effective statistical distance functions and coherent structural approximations.

Data sources include Statistics Canada, Canadian Bank Association, Canada Post Corporation, publications from credit bureaus, and Manifold proprietary research and databases.

Validation and refinement is done via independent data sources.
