The trend in Vancouver isn't any different than nationwide though, the Chinese there have lower incomes too. So any stereotype of Chinese money is either based off Chinese people with a lot of overseas income and little income within Canada, or the Chinese have a more uneven income distribution...

Re minority incomes: interesting, it's actually quite different from what I expected. Chinese are actually lower income in Canada than many other minority groups, median per capita incomes are lower than for South Asians, Filipinos, Latin Americans, blacks, First Nations ancestry, Metis...

Don Valley North (NE corner of North York) also has a large Chinese population which is about 3-4 mainlanders to each Hong Konger. However, the ratios are different in northern Markham and Richmond Hill, in those areas it's about 1 mainlander to each Hong Konger, so it seems like the wealthier...

The poor areas of US cities are also much poorer though, and Latinos and Blacks are poorer than minorities in Canada (and more numerous) so maybe Asians partly just look good by comparison in the US. And the US doesn't have many areas that are predominantly Asian outside of NYC, LA and the Bay...

In these stats, recent immigrant means in the last 5 years. So the fact that these areas have high proportions of recent immigrants means they are still part of the immigration gateway. However, it's true that many parts of the 905 are also part of the immigration gateway whereas in the past...

That's what I would suspect. Although NW Toronto does have significant numbers of immigrants from Vietnam and Latin America, you also have many from Jamaica, Trinidad, India, Nigeria... Meanwhile North Scarborough is heavily Chinese immigration (though with some Sri Lankans and Filipinos...

TLDR: Both North Scarborough and NW Toronto are poorer than average, in fact North Scarborough's incomes are even be slightly lower. However North Scarborough is able to cope with that because of fewer dependents, and larger homes and more often SFH which favours pooling of resources in large...

Labour related stats Unemployment rate NW Toronto: 11.80% North Scarborough: 11.00% Toronto CMA: 8.60% Employment rate NW Toronto: 53.00% North Scarborough: 52.10% Toronto CMA: 61.20% % of Workers part-time NW Toronto: 18.98% North Scarborough: 19.48% Toronto CMA: 18.31% % with Sales and...

Does larger households in North Scarborough lead to better outcomes for housing, or more crowding? Avg # of rooms per home NW Toronto: 5.20 North Scarborough: 5.75 Toronto CMA: 6.00 Avg # of people per room NW Toronto: 0.56 North Scarborough: 0.56 Toronto CMA: 0.46 %Households crowded NW...

Still trying to nail down what's going on in the Milliken Area. Here's a comparison of various stats between NW Toronto (York West, York-South Weston and Etobicoke North) which fit more closely with the traditional Toronto image of low income to working class areas, and North Scarborough...

Maybe I wasn't clear. My second question was about why new homes in the GTA are more likely to have these various fancy features than new homes in other regions, especially when you consider that the higher location premium should mean less money left over for such luxuries. You can't really...

I dunno... I think the price difference is bigger than you suggest even when comparing apples to apples. It's hard to find similar housing to suburban Toronto's with brick all around (if not stone) in areas of Ontario outside Toronto's sphere of influence, but here's one of the better...

ok... So for the east end, Ajax-Pickering would be like the equivalent of Oakville and southern York would be equivalent to Mississauga. 56.4% of Milton residents work in Toronto, Oakville or Mississauga 58.8% of Whitby residents work in Toronto, Ajax-Pickering or Vaughan/Richmond Hill/Markham...

Nope, the 90% Manhattan-like city would be a similar density to the 100% Brampton-like city if it's surrounded by ultra-low density sprawl. 10 million people at 28000 pop/km2 = 357 km2 11 million people at 2800 pop/km2 = 3571 km2 (approximate density of built up part of Brampton) That means...

I assumed the $70,000 referred to the cost of the infrastructure within the subdivision itself. Development fees are not quite as high as $70,000 afaik. How do you think other areas are able to build housing at lower costs then? A new suburban 3 bedroom detached house is about $400-450k in...

Depends why we're talking about sprawl. If we're talking about viability of transit, it's much better to have 10 million people living at Manhattan densities and 1 million living at ultra low suburban densities than 11 million living at Brampton densities, even though the average density is the...

Toronto's urban area is denser than New York's because New York has tons of ultra low density suburbs which have a relatively low proportion of the region's population but add a ton to the land area. If you use weighted density, which break's down the urban area into neighbourhood sized...

There are similar cases in the USA too though. Riverside-San Bernardino isn't counted as part of the LA urban area; San Jose isn't counted as part of the SF-Oakland urban area. The New York urban area doesn't include anything in Connecticut, even though there is continuous (albeit much of it low...

I think for the more industrial portions the main obstacle is low density, and for the office areas (Meadowvale, Hurontario/401, ACC) it's single use. In the more industrial or retail areas with shift workers you'll have trips in and out throughout the day but with the office areas, while...

Nope, the graph confirms what I said. The graph doesn't show how much the amount of driving increased, only how much the rate of fatalities per miles driven increased. For some reason, driving x amount of miles seems to be 10% more likely to cause an accident in 2016 vs 2014.
