This map colours each region by how consistent the child poverty rates in it are compared to the model assumption of zero child poverty (while making the standard deviation used proportional to the NHS response rate). Compare this to the map of child poverty that simply maps the child poverty rate for each region. It is interesting to observe how some areas may have lower child poverty rates that others, but show overall higher inconsistencies with the model assumption of zero child poverty because of the high number of children they contain.

In particular, we can see that in the UBC area the student housing have overall higher rates of child poverty compared to South Campus, but overall South Campus is more inconsistent with the zero child poverty assumption because of the large number of children there.

As always, out maps are Canada wide. User the search bar, zoom and pan to explore child poverty in other regions of Canada.
