Morgan Sleeth, Mylène Riva, Kevin Manaugh and Sébastien Breau recently published their article "‘Left Behind Places’: Examining the Evolution of a Concept With an Application to the Canadian Regional Development Context" in Growth and Change. This paper employs Statistics Canada's 2021 Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) dataset as a proxy for identifying LBPs across the country and examines their spatial dynamics at the census subdivision (CSD) level. The analysis finds high clustering of CSDs with high levels of deprivation in rural, northern, and remote areas of Canada, as well as high clustering of CSDs with high levels of economic dependency in and around major Canadian cities.
