http://www.statcan.gc.ca/tables-tableaux/sum-som/l01/cst01/demo05a-eng.htm The estimates for July are usually estimate on February of the following year, so in theory the July 2016 estimates should be released soon, but I think they actually take a long time to adjust for the new data from the...

Calgary Urban Area (using US Census Bureau Criteria) 2016 Population: 1,244,345 Weighted Density: 7,572 ppsm Compared to previous years 2011: 7,228 ppsm 2006: 6,488 ppsm

I think Finch West LRT is fine since it's responding to existing demand for transit. Some of the areas served are fairly dense, and Jane-Finch has car ownership rates significantly lower than in North Toronto and comparable to ca 1900 streetcar suburbs like the Bloor West Village, Danforth and...

How different parts of Toronto grew Scarborough: 0.99% (+6,186) 625,698 --> 631,884 Etobicoke: 4.94% (+17,195) 347,948 --> 365,143 Northern Toronto (North York north of 401): 4.75% (+20,005) 421,228 --> 441,233 Central Toronto (south of 401, b/w Vic Park & Humber R): 5.99% (+73,125)...

Highest net growth in the CMA for a CT is 576.71 4624-->23401 That's Springbrook area of Brampton Highest % growth is 615.00 in North Oakville 353 ---> 6430 In Toronto Highest % growth is 8.01 - Liberty Village 2729 --> 7503 Net growth seems to be the entertainment district (11.00) 8645 --> 17549

I think it will have slowed down a little compared to last census. Definitely in terms of % growth, maybe even net growth. But it will still be one of the fastest growing communities. Stouffville, Bradford and New Tecumseth will probably be its main competitors for highest % growth in the CMA...

I'm fairly confident it will be the slowest growing of the major boroughs. For fastest growing census tract, I'm thinking the Entertainment District/Fashion District CT. Or maybe Liberty Village/Fleet St area. Humber Bay Shores and Esplanade/West Don Lands/Waterfront east of Yonge should be up...

Regarding GO passengers not having to transfer onto the Yonge Subway to get to Queen St... How common is that today? I pretty much always walked from Union to Dundas Square when I worked there and that's twice as far. Although it seems like I enjoy my daily walks during commuting more than most...

A moderate increase in population in Central Toronto could warrant a significant increase in rapid transit. Lets say that the road network and transit network are both near capacity, and the potential to increase capacity for the road and surface transit network is relatively limited and...

I think the low rate of growth for blue collar jobs, with most of the job growth being white collar (or service sector) is a factor here. Durham, Milton, Brampton and Vaughan still have rather few white collar jobs and are more blue collar employment centres/bedroom communities. About 80% of...

Looking at the CMHC stats on housing starts by municipality, ex https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/corp/nero/nere/2015/2015-12-08-0816b.cfm Looks like the fastest growing communities in the Toronto CMA are all in the exurbs. I'd estimate these communities to all experience 30-40% growth between...

The average buyer would be a household earning about $50-150k. Obviously certain neighbourhoods, homes, buildings, etc will always be geared towards the upper end of the market. Which parts of the market would be most affected by a crash depends on the cause of the crash. Is it a broader crash...

Sure, when I meant low density, I mostly meant lowrise "freehold" housing with minimal potential for an increase in units - usually only an increase in unit size. If you have a 1300 sf bungalow in Scarborough, you generally can't replace it with two 1800 sf semi-detached homes, or three 1400 sf...

Here's a map showing where apartments are allowed. from: https://twitter.com/g_meslin/status/787043620406890496 red = high density* mixed use orange = high density residential yellow = low density residential purple = employment only blue = institutional brown = not sure? maybe none of the...

How many apartments have been built during the time period it lost population though? The ones on Vaughan Rd would have been built mainly in the 50s-60s (or earlier) and helped get it to reach its peak.

What's the most you can build in the "other residential" zone? Those areas cover most of Old Toronto which has the strongest demand, but still experience relatively little development these days. Also the "non-residential" zone in grey is a bit misleading. It seems to consist of areas that...

The United States don't really have Indian enclaves from what I can tell though. It seems like the most Indian areas are in the NYC region, around southern Richmond Hill in Queens, which is right next to Jamaica, Queens and apparently has a mix of West Indian and East India/South Asian...

I agree that it is a possible concern, which is why I tried to include as many stats as possible. For example, the working poor map only looks at people that are earning at least $3000 a year, so if it was just a wealthy Chinese man who sent his wife, parents and children to live in Canada and...

US census maps show that the low income minority areas are highly segregated, but areas with lots of minorities that are of more moderate income, or in better locations are more diverse. But maybe that's a more transient trend related to ethnic succession, with the mixing of South Asians and...
