Canada Census 2011

The Young Torontonians by Robert WJ

Based on Canada Census 2011

The pattern of settlement of young adults in Toronto. Young adults are defined here as the latter portion of the millennial generation, individuals between the ages of 25 and 34.

This age group exhibits particular trends towards concentration in dense urban neighbourhoods. These neighbourhoods are typically amenity rich and offer particular housing forms, housing tenure and convenient modes of commuting. Due to a general delay in coupling and child-rearing decisions, this age group is able to accept reduced living space for location preference at a constant total cost.

While the millennial generation is popularly known as accepting smaller units in multiple dwelling buildings or shared residential accommodation, it is not known how residential patterns will shift as the generation matures into later life stages. Varied housing form and careful attention to housing affordability is most often associated

In the GTA, this pattern shows a strong relationship with Toronto's downtown. As the GTA region develops there are opportunities for housing development in regional municipalities to provide varied housing forms to accommodate expanding housing preferences and to adapt amenity rich neighbourhoods in a variety of forms. Much remains to be seen in how this age group will choose to adapt to a changing lifecycle.

But even further, much remains to be seen in how older generations will choose to settle. The settlement patterns of older generations may also provide even more opportunities for shifts in settlement patterns across many generation.

Household maintainer status refers to whether or not a person residing in the household is responsible for paying the rent, or the mortgage, or the taxes, or the electricity or other services or utilities.
