Local Area Economic Profiles Dataset

This is the complete dataset of the 2025 Local Area Economic Profiles (LAEP) project by BC Stats, which provides detailed information on 103+ sub-provincial areas. For more information on data concepts and methodology, follow the link to BC Stats' website. It is the data in CSV format that is also contained in the LAEP Toolkit (an XLSX document), located on BC Stats' website. It includes tables for all the indicators of the LAEP project, including employment, income, Income Dependency, Location Quotients, and economic multipliers for local areas and regional districts in British Columbia. It includes some ancillary data: tables which define the geographical classifications used in the project; the industry classifications; and a set of files that contain the original source data from the census (by area, detailed industries, and year) that has been cleaned to a level sufficient for input-output modelling.
