Demographic Change in Toronto's Neighbourhoods

14 | DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE IN TORONTO’S NEIGHBOURHOODS
5-14 increased in Yonge-St. Clair, Mount
Pleasant East and High Park-Swansea by
35.8%, 35.1% and 34.1%, respectively.
Population growth among middle years
children in these neighbourhoods was
substantially higher than their overall
population rate increase.
Regent Park experienced the largest
percentage decrease in middle years
children at 45.9%. Again, the redevelopment
of Regent Park has led to resident relocation
during construction periods.
We will have a better sense of the new
demographic in Regent Park after the
redevelopment is complete. Kensington-
Chinatown experienced a decrease of
37.6% among middle years children despite
a 7.1% increase in the total population in
this neighbourhood. In South Parkdale, the
percentage of children 5-14 years of age
decreased by 29.7% despite a 10% increase
in its total population.
