- Abstract
- Canada Postal Areas is a polygon theme representing the three-character Forward Sortation Areas (FSA) of Canada. This data set provides six levels of generalization for displaying the data at different scales. Everything about the levels is the same but the level of generalization and its name. The least generalized level is called data set name. The next more generalized level is called data set name_1, and so on. For best performance, use the most appropriate generalized level when displaying or printing.
- Purpose
- Provides the boundaries for the Forward Sortation Areas (FSA) of Canada.
- Supplemental Information
- Largest scale when displaying the data at the least generalized level: data set name: 1:100,000.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE to verify and validate the geometry.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. This data set provides six levels of generalization.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The horizontal positional accuracy is 167 feet for the least generalized level. The least generalized level has the highest horizontal positional accuracy.
