| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| date | date | Reference year of the observation (the WDS Datapoint 'refPer' field), mapped to the first day of the year for this annual table (e.g. 2024-01-01 means the 2024 reference year). |
| country_code | string | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code, always 'CAN' — the join key for the 'Enrich with public data' feature. |
| geo_name | string | Geography: 'Canada' (Canada excluding the territories — the annual estimates publish no territorial data) or one of the 10 provinces. |
| indicator_name | string | The CCHS health indicator, e.g. 'Diabetes', 'Current smoker, daily', 'Life satisfaction, satisfied or very satisfied'. |
| series_id | string | Statistics Canada vector identifier for the series (the WDS 'vectorId', prefixed with 'v', e.g. 'v1600652214'). Vectors are the stable public identifiers printed on StatCan tables. |
| series_label | string | Official English series title from WDS Series Info, e.g. 'Canada (excluding territories);Total, 18 years and over;Both sexes;Diabetes;Percent'. |
| unit | string | Unit of measure: 'percent' for both datasets (share of the population aged 18 and over). |
| value | float | Observation value as published by Statistics Canada, with no transformation. May be null where StatCan suppressed a cell or published no value; missing values are never imputed. |
