Ethnic Diversity

This map shows the probability that two random people belong to different ethnic groups. A diversity index of 0 means that all people in the area belong to the same ethnic group. The highest possible index of 0.93 corresponds to a perfect mix of ethnic groups, with equal the proportion of each ethnic group in the region. We greyed out areas where we detected large amounts of statistical or privacy-preserving rounding. This map was inspired by a Vancouver focused map that appeared in the Vancouver Sun. At the provincial level British Columbia and Ontario stand out with relatively high levels of diversity with a probability of two random people having different diversity at 0.45 and 0.44, respectively. Nunavut and Newfoundland and Labrador have the lowest diversity with 0.03. In the Vancouver area has generally high levels of diversity. Toronto generally shows similar high levels of diversity, but also has large pockets of high ethnic segregation. Montreal displays lower diversity levels, but still has pockets of high diversity. Calgary's diversity is concentrated in downtown and the northeast and north suburbs. Quebec City is very homogeneous. As always, our maps are Canada-wide.
