## Data Products

Their data products include demographics (e.g. geo-demographics), consumer behaviour, and a number of other categories. The Canadian census is conducted every 5 years, so in order to produce inter-censal estimates, e.g. for Sault Ste. Marie, they need to take into consideration other factors.[2] They also consider factors which affect the standard census such as undercount.[3]

All data products are modelled down to the 6-digit postal code level and various levels of census geographic units, with each postal code averaging 10–15 households.

Manifold is a partner of Vividata and Numeris, and models their survey responses down to the 6-digit postal code level, i.e. all across Canada and in markets not covered by their surveys.[1]

## CanaCode Lifestyle Clusters

One of their popular data products is CanaCode Lifestyles, which is a lifestyle segmentation system based on over 10,000 variables, ranging from demographic to spending to consumer behaviour and media usage patterns.[4]

## Scientific Research

Manifold Data Mining has also published numerous peer-reviewed research papers on topics such as Type 2 Diabetes.[5] Manifold also publishes papers on Machine Learning techniques like collaborative filtering, which they use in their modelling and as part of their proprietary techniques.[6]

## Other Usage

Manifold is often cited by municipalities in their community profiles, 5 and 10 year economic and land development plans.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Manifold's data has been used by university researchers, for example those investigating poverty odds, living standards, and low socio-economic status.[13]
