<div dir="auto">Whilst I think about it for the labour force survey Stats actually pays its interviewers to record all new buildings with their street numbers in their area to ensure it has all the buildings in. Note certain areas such as military bases and reservations are not covered as the labour force or unemployment survey does not cover them.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This means the survey sample is more accurate, and that means it can sell enriched data for a premium. When labour force runs by law you must answer but it is also used to carry supplementary surveys at the same time. These are not subject to the must answer law. One would be the landline phone survey which was run for Bell so they could demonstrate to CRTC that people could still afford telephones. Only 94% of respondents who responded to the LBS chose to respond. Bell was quite happy to pay stats to run the survey. Stats formal methods mean its data is accepted as being more accurate than other survey companies. Typical response rates can be twice as high using the same questions as American survey companies and that means higher accuracy so you can charge more.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It doesn't rely on the municipalities for this data.

However, it is unfeasible for me to gather this address data myself in a ground survey for two reasons: Nanaimo is very sprawled, and I live too far away in Courtenay. So if I am to be able to do this, I need to find a third-party database that is as up-to-date as possible, and more crucially, is licence-compatible with OSM. I would then proceed to add this data manually, starting with determining using the Overpass API which street addresses in Nanaimo are already in OSM, so I do not duplicate them. Do you have any ideas for how I might be able to proceed with this?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div>- David E.
