This from "A Comparative Perspective of Social Indicators in Peel Neighbourhoods, 2001"
HIGHLIGHTS: INCOME AND POVERTY IN PEEL, 2001
• The average family income in Peel is higher than that in Ontario, and Canada
[Peel ($79,325), Canada ($66,160) and Ontario ($73,849)].
• Peel, compared to Ontario and Canada, has a much lower percentage of individuals and families on low incomes. In 2000, less than 12% of the Peel population lived on low incomes/below the poverty line, compared to 14.4 % in Ontario and 16.2% in Canada.
• The neighbourhoods with the three highest average family income were: Clarkson/Lorne Park with $117,550, Caledon (Urban) with $ 97,871, and Streetsville with $94,792.
• The neighbourhoods with the three lowest average family income were: Malton, $50,700;Cooksville/Dixie, $69,267, and Hurontario, $72,453.
Today, I set out on a Mississauga-Marathon-Drive-About and videotape two Mississauga communities:
highest Peel Region family income area: Clarkson/Lorne Park with $117,550
lowest Peel Region family income area: Malton, $50,700
Why am I doing this?
Go to the City of Mississauga website at:
See the "Search" feature top left?
Type in the word, "poverty".
Now type in the word "success"
That's why.
