L'application de l'analyse des composantes principales aux donnees socio‐economiques de 1961 pour Winnipeg nous permet d'extraire les dimensions sous‐jacentes de la structure socio‐economique de la population de la ville. On y fait la demonstration que les dimensions derivees correspondent dans une large mesure aux dimensions obtenues par l'analyse de l'aire sociale. II est de plus souligne que l'analyse des composantes principales constitue un instrument utile dans l'analyse des donnees urbaines multivariees; elle est egalement tres utile‐a Pinterieur de certaines limites‐dans les etudes empiriques portant sur la structure ecologique de la ville. The application of principal components analysis to 1961 socio‐economic data for Winnipeg derives the underlying dimensions of the socio‐economic structure of the city's population. It is generally shown that the derived dimensions are quite similar to “social area analysis” dimensions. It is further indicated that principal components analysis provides a useful tool in the analysis of multivariate urban data and, subject to certain limitations, is extremely useful in empirical studies of the ecological structure of cities.
