Information about the geographical units involved and family physicians by urban areas.
Fig 1.
A comparison of population to physician ratios: simple ratio estimated at city level; City mean of simple ratio estimated at neighbourhood level; 3SFCA mean accessibility scores estimated at neighbourhood level.
Fig 2.
A comparison of physician-to-population ratio between simple ratio calculated using ([Physicians in an area/population of the area] * 1000) (in left column), and b) three- step floating catchment areas (3SFCA) method at the neighbourhood level (in right column) in three Canadian cities (a. Toronto, b. Montreal, and c. Vancouver).

Summary of physician-to-populations ratios by urban areas.

Spatial accessibility to PHC services by urban areas at the neighbourhood level estimated using the three steps floating catchment areas method (2011 DA Population, 3km road network buffer distance).

LISA cluster map of spatial accessibility to PHC services (physicians to population ratio) by urban areas.
Global Moran’s I of urban areas as given are found statistically significant (pseudo-significant = 0.05).
