Across GTA based on Canada Census data
Explore the dynamics of gentrification across the city with our interactive Gentrification Map. This tool utilizes the affordability index as a foundational metric to illustrate areas undergoing significant socio-economic changes. By mapping affordability, we provide a unique view that identifies neighborhoods at risk of or currently experiencing gentrification.
The affordability index is calculated by comparing median household incomes to the median home prices within each neighborhood. This ratio provides insight into how accessible housing is for average residents and serves as an indicator of potential economic displacement pressures. As home prices rise faster than incomes, neighborhoods may be flagged for gentrification risks.
Through this map, users can visualize how shifts in affordability impact local communities, reflecting broader trends of displacement and redevelopment. The affordability index serves not only as a measure of housing cost relative to income but also as an indicator of potential gentrification pressures, helping stakeholders and residents understand the evolving landscape of our city.
