SOCIAL PLANNING TORONTO | 21 Figure 15 shows the number of working age adults 25-64 years of age in each neighbourhood and the percentage of the population in each neighbourhood that is 25-64 years of age. Neighbourhoods with the largest populations of working age adults are located in central and south Etobicoke, North York, the downtown core, and central Scarborough. More than 25,000 working age adults live in each of the identified neighbourhoods. Working age adults make up 50% to 60% of the total population in most Toronto neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods with a higher proportion of working age adults are concentrated in the old City of Toronto with a few pockets in south Etobicoke and North York. Among Toronto neighbourhoods, Niagara has the highest percentage of working age adults at 80.8% of its total population, followed by Waterfront Communities-The Island at 75.6%, Moss Park at 73.2%, and Church-Yonge Corridor at 70.3%.
