COMMUNITY COUNTS ASSET MAPPING

The Community Counts Map Centre allows users from across Nova Scotia to create custom maps about their communities. It includes mapping tools that will give you thousands of options for mapping data of interest to your community: thematic mapping (i.e. population characteristics) and asset mapping (i.e. services and resources).

The asset mapping feature of Community Counts allows users to pinpoint the location of public and community assets such as schools and museums. The location of these assets can be visualized relative to the population characteristics of our communities. Putting both population characteristics and assets together on a map is a great tool for assets planning and future development. To view the map center, click here.

Currently, assets collected by Community Counts are grouped into seven categories: Cultural, Educational, Environmental, Health, Infrastructure, Social and Social Economic. Selected assets are mapped below with population (2011 Census) at General Service Area (GSA) level. Click on the image to enlarge the map.
