Look through our [process-statcan-data-labs](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-statcan-data-labs) repo for the datasets processed. There is still lots of work to do to make it ready for systems.
## Download
Here is a table of some of the datasets created from the current process.
Below is a table of datasets generated from our current processing pipeline. You can download the raw **Parquet** files directly or use the **Map Preview** links to inspect the data as vector tiles.
### How to use the Map Preview
The map preview allows you to visualize specific census characteristics dynamically. Follow this workflow to verify the data before downloading.
**1. Identify your Characteristic ID**
Census variables are mapped using numeric IDs. Consult the **[Characteristic ID Reference Sheet](https://1drv.ms/x/c/d42308bcd3b7a4a1/ESlrAmKqXp9BnsMXqurcB0sB9qy1r2-ZV8tCL9nCns_Mpg?e=8qIroJ)** to find the ID for the data you want to view.
* *Example:* The ID for "Number of COVID-19 emergency and recovery benefits recipients..." is **124**.
**2. Open the Preview**
Click the link in the **Dataset ID & Preview** column for your desired geographic level (e.g., Provinces, Federal Electoral Districts).
**3. Filter by Attribute**
In the top-right "Search fields" box, enter the attribute key using the format `{gender}_{ID}`:
* **Total:** Enter `total_124`
* **Male:** Enter `men_124`
* **Female:** Enter `women_124`
**4. Update the Map**
Click the **"Recalculate Classes"** button. This will refresh the map legend and choropleth coloring based on the currently visible extent.
