In 2014–15, Chris Atchison's S3 study at UVic surveyed 1,133 people who buy sexual services in Canada — then the largest voluntary sample of its kind.
The mobility data stuck with me. Never became a paper. So I rebuilt it as an interactive map:
sociologix.ca/canada-clients
1/3
![Screenshot of the Client Mobility Network from sociologix.ca, showing [cities visible — e.g., "Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, and smaller regional centres"] as nodes on a dark-background map of Canada. Lines between nodes show movement between where respondents live and where they most often buy sexual services. Brightest nodes — [name them] — indicate the highest purchasing activity. Several nodes carry dashed rings marking in-city purchasing. Edges taper from thin at origin to thick at destination. [Note any prominent visible flows.] Filters for venue, sexuality, age, and buyer experience appear in the side panel, with a per-capita toggle currently [on/off].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5x2pnis2o2f3h67nihkwlkh/bafkreiagaelwz7y6aslal2imqldltupewlheft5tqs55itmqvf7dlbtzvu)
