Gain valuable insights from the FoodSpend and HouseholdSpend datasets

Environics Consumer Spending Data provides information about the total expenditures of Canadian households, including food and household spending. It also provides the total number of households in a specific area as well as the household total, disposable, and discretionary income.

This valuable information offers insights to refine your predictive models, identify shopping trends in retail areas, recognize cross-promotional opportunities, and determine the spending potential by category. It also allows for the analysis of potential household expenditures by average and total dollars spent for any level of geography, whether for Canada entirely or a small trade area.
