Abstract

This paper investigates the importance of urban and rural regional economies in Canada. Taking advantage of newly developed experimental measures of gross domestic product and gross domestic income at the scale of 1 kilometre by 1 kilometre grid squares, it provides a picture of the importance of urban and rural economies in 2019. It shows that 23.1% of Canada’s output is produced in rural areas, where 19.5% of employee compensation is received, with the remainder located in urbanized areas. It also shows that 60.6% of rural production occurs in areas that are relatively close to major markets, such as southern Ontario, central Alberta between Calgary and Edmonton, and the lower mainland of British Columbia.
