Wiebe, Kyle; Distasio, Jino; Shirtliffe, Ryan
This In-Brief develops a new method to identify both food deserts and food mirages to broaden the understanding of barriers individuals face in accessing food. We find that while food deserts exist in Winnipeg, food mirages are even more prevalent - where affordability is a more common barrier to consuming healthy food than distance is. These results emphasize the need for future policy to target the incomes of individuals and food affordability rather than store locations.

Canadian households are now deeper in debt than at any time since Statistics Canada began collecting
debtor data in 1961. Debt, payment delinquency, and bankruptcy are increasingly a part of the lives
of the young, the socioeconomically marginalized, and renters. This In-Brief explores the TransUnion
dataset available through Winnipeg’s Community Data Consortium, including the spatial patterns
of non‑mortgage debt, bankruptcy risk, and the back-end debt ratio in Winnipeg. We find that low
income areas have lower levels of non-mortgage and back-end debt but are at a higher risk of bankruptcy.
The outer suburbs and high-wealth emerging areas have the highest levels of overall non-mortgage and
back-end debt but the lowest bankruptcy risk.
