- Abstract : High levels of survey nonresponse potentially produce unreliable data due to the often indeterminable possibility of such data being subject to nonresponse bias. In this paper, spatial patterns of global nonresponse rate are analyzed in order to identify whether systemic bias exists across urban spaces with regard to survey nonresponse. Forward stepwise regression is used in combination with spatial regression analysis to build models enabling the prediction of global nonresponse rates in the voluntary 2011 National Household Survey based on explanatory employment, housing, income, and other variables within 11 Canadian cities. The modelling process underscores the inequity of global nonresponse rates; places with high unemployment, high rates of rental properties, a higher proportion of Aboriginal residents, and lower educational attainment have lower compliance with the voluntary survey. Such a pattern has the potential to dramatically influence the ability of government, non‐governmental organizations, and other service providers to address the needs of residents of such urban areas. Key Messages: Global nonresponse rate in the 2011 National Household Survey varies greatly between and within urban spaces. Linear regressions are used to produce models predicting global nonresponse rates in 11 Canadian cities, based on socioeconomic and demographic variables. Areas in which variables representing social disadvantage are more prevalent show relatively higherAbstract : High levels of survey nonresponse potentially produce unreliable data due to the often indeterminable possibility of such data being subject to nonresponse bias.

Cartographier la configuration spatiale des données incertaines en milieu urbain: le taux de non‐réponses des défavorisés dans l'Enquête nationale auprès des ménages: Des niveaux élevés de non‐réponses à l'enquête nationale auprès des ménages peuvent produire des données non fiables en raison du possible biais des non‐réponses. À l'intérieur de ce texte, les configurations spatiales du taux global de non‐réponses sont analysées dans le but de déterminer s'il existe un biais systémique dans les espaces urbains en ce qui a trait aux non‐réponses à l'enquête. Ainsi, une régression progressive est utilisée en combinaison avec une analyse de régression spatiale pour établir des modèles permettant la prévision de taux globaux de non‐réponses à l'Enquête nationale à participation volontaire auprès des ménages de 2011. Ces traitements se concentrent sur les variables explicatives de l'emploi, du logement, du revenu et sur d'autres variables dans 11 villes canadiennes. Les résultats mettent en évidence le constat suivant: l'inégalité des taux globaux de non‐réponses; les endroits avec un chômage élevé, le taux élevé d'immeubles locatifs, la proportion plus élevée de résidents autochtones et un niveau d'instruction moindre ont un degré de conformité moins élevé à l'enquête en question. En conséquence, une telle répartition des non‐réponses peut avoir une influence considérable sur la capacité du gouvernement, des organisations non gouvernementales et d'autres fournisseurs de services à répondre aux besoins des résidents en milieu urbain. … (more)
