Note: Where there is a population of less than 100 persons and/ or a household total of less than 40 households, the resulting average number of persons per
household may not be representative of the actual occupancy rates. Statistics Canada rules for data suppression and random rounding can produce unexpected
results for very small populations and number of households.
Don Valley North City of Toronto Ward Profiles
2016 Census
2018 25-Wards
Adapted from Statistics Canada, Census 2016, 2011 & 2006.
The information in this Ward Profile is adapted from Statistics Canada, 2016 Census, 2011 Census,
2011 National Household Survey and 2006 Census. This does not constitute an endorsement by
Statistics Canada of this product.
Comparing 2016 and 2011 Census Data
Each year, the Census comprises of two questionnaires; a short-form questionnaire that is distributed to all households; and a long-form questionnaire that is distributed to a sample number of households and includes more detailed questions. In 2011, there were changes in the way information was collected for the long-form portion of the 2011 Census. The information previously collected by the long-form Census was collected in 2011 as part of the new voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) by Statistics Canada. In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-from Census. These changes make it difficult to compare 2011 and 2016 Census year data. In general, the 2011
NHS data is less comparable to that of all Censuses prior to 2011, and the 2016 Census. This is due
to non-response bias that is inherent in voluntary surveys. Non-response bias can occur when people
do not respond to a survey "because non-respondents tend to have different characteristics from
respondents. As a result, there is a risk that the results will not be representative of the actual
population", notes the 2011 National Household Survey User Guide. In regards to the 2011 NHS
Profile information, Statistics Canada states: "For the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS)
estimates, the global non-response rate (GNR) is used as an indicator of data quality. This indicator
combines complete non-response (household) and partial non-response (question) into a single rate.
The value of the GNR is presented to users. A smaller GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response
bias and as a result, lower risk of inaccuracy. The threshold used for estimates' suppression is a GNR
of 50% or more."
The risk of non-comparable data for population groups grows when two variables are cross-tabulated
or tabulated for small geographic areas, such as variables relating to minority populations, income and
shelter costs. Seventy-four percent of the Census Tracts in the City of Toronto reported by the 2011
NHS have a Global Non-Response Rate above 25%, the threshold for data suppression employed by
Statistics Canada for the 2011 Census. Comparisons may be more suitable where the Global Non-
Response Rates of the geographies are similar and the Coefficients of Variation of the variables are
low.
The changes mean that results of the voluntary 2011 National Household Survey can not be easily compared to the mandatory 2016 Census results. Statistics Canada's Guide to the Census of Population, 2016 notes that "users must be careful when comparing estimates from two surveys, as
they can differ significantly in methodology, quality and target population. The estimates from the 2016 Census long-form questionnaire were derived from a mandatory survey that had a high response rate, while the estimates from the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS) were derived from a voluntary survey. The response rate for the 2016 Census long-form questionnaire was 96.9%, while the 2011 NHS had a response rate of 68.6%. The definition of the target population of the 2016 Census long-form questionnaire and that of the 2011 NHS were exactly the same." Use of the results of the voluntary 2011 NHS requires a careful understanding of the significant differences and higher non-
response inherent in the NHS by comparison to the long-form Census of 2016 and previous years.
Custom Tabulations
The Ward Profiles are based on a series of custom tabulations from the 2016 Census, 2011 Census
and 2011 National Household Survey, and 2006 Census of Statistics Canada. The 2016 custom
tabulations are based on the long-form Census questionnaire. The custom tabulations used in the
2011 Ward Profiles are different.
In 2011, the Census methodology changed to include a mandatory short-from questionnaire and a
voluntary long-form questionnaire for the National Household Survey). As a result, the 2011 Ward and
Community Council Profiles included data from both the Census short form and the NHS long-form
questionnaire for that year. The data are not easily compared because of the distinct samples. To
distinguish between the two datasets, City Planning published two sets of Profile documents for each
Ward for the 2011 Census year; the 2011 Census Profile (the short-form questionnaire) and the 2011
National Household Survey Profile (the long-form questionnaire) which are available on the City of
Toronto's website.
Comparing 2016 and 2011 Ward Profile Topics
The 2016 Census Profiles contain 2016 Census data and select 2011 Census and National
Household Survey data for the 25-Ward model. The 25-Ward would apply to the 2018-2022 term of
City Council. The 25-Ward model wold replace the 44-Ward model, in effect since 2014.
The 2016 Ward Profiles include both 2016 Census data and select 2011 Census and National
Household Survey data. The 2011 to 2016 comparison topics include Population, Dwellings and
Families. Including profile information from 2011, from before the 25-Ward model existed, enables a
better understanding of recent growth trends and key demographic indicators for each Ward in the 25-
Ward model.
In order to compare 2011 and 2016 data, it is important to be aware of changes to Census data
collection methods that have occurred in the last decade. The replacement of the voluntary 2011
National Household Survey by the restoration of the long-from Census in 2016 allows for accurate
comparison between 2016 and 2006 Census information, and for Censuses prior to 2006. The
mandatory 2016 Census results can not be easily compared to the results of the voluntary 2011
National Household Survey due to the differing sample and lower response rates of the voluntary
survey. When comparing Ward Profile data for years 2011 to 2016, users should be aware that the
results of the 2016 Long-Form Census are considered to be more reliable than those the 2011

The population universe (target population) of the 2016 Census includes the following groups:
Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants (permanent residents) with a usual place of residence in Canada.
Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants (permanent residents) who are abroad either on a military base or attached to a diplomatic mission.
Canadian citizens (by birth or by naturalization) and landed immigrants (permanent residents) at sea or in port aboard merchant vessels under Canadian registry or Canadian government vessels.

Persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold study permits and family members living with them.
Persons with a usual place of residence in Canada who hold work permits and family members living with them.
For Census purposes, these last three groups of people are referred to as 'non-permanent residents.'
They have been included since 1991. Foreign residents are excluded from the population universe.
Foreign residents are persons who belong to the following groups:
Government representatives of another country attached to the embassy, high commission or other diplomatic body of that country in Canada, and members of their families living with them.
Members of the Armed Forces of another country who are stationed in Canada, and family members living with them.
Residents of another country visiting Canada temporarily (for example, a foreign visitor on vacation or on business, with or without a visitor's permit).
Institutional Population
Person who live in an institutional collective dwelling, such as a hospital, a nursing home or a prison.
This includes residents under care or custody (e.g., patients or inmates) or employee residents and
family members living with them, if any.
Population in Private Households
Other than the Total Population by Age, population in private households is the applicable population
for all 2016 Ward Profile topics based on the 2016 Census long-form questionnaire.

Adapted from Statistics Canada, Census 2016, 2011 & 2006.
Refers to the age at last birthday before the reference date, that is, before May 10, 2016. This variable
is derived from date of birth.
Median Age
The median age is an age 'x', such that exactly one half of the population is older than 'x' and the
other half is younger than 'x'.
Dependency Ratio
The total demographic dependency ratio is the ratio of the combined youth population (0 to 19 years)
and senior population (65 or older) to the working-age population (20 to 64 years). It is expressed as
the number of "dependents" for every 100 "worker. The demographic dependency ratio is based on
age rather than employment status. It does not account for young people or seniors who are working,
nor for working-age people who are unemployed or not in the labour force. It merely reflects
population age structure and is not meant to diminish the contributions made by people classified as
"dependents."
Dwellings Glossary
Household size
Number of persons occupying a private dwelling.
Household type
Category to which a person living alone or a group of persons occupying the same dwelling belong.
There are two categories: non-family households and family households.
A non-family household consists of either one person living alone or of two or more persons who share a dwelling, but do not constitute a family.
Family households are divided into two subcategories: one-family households and multiple-
family households.
Structural type of dwelling
Characteristics that define a dwelling's structure, for example, the characteristics of a single-detached
house, a semi-detached house, a row house, or an apartment or flat in a duplex.
Single-detached house – A single dwelling not attached to any other dwelling or structure (except its own garage or shed). A single-detached house has open space on all sides, and has no dwellings either above it or below it.
Semi-detached house – One of the two dwellings attached side by side (or back to front) to each other, but not to any other dwelling or structure (except its own garage or shed). A semi-detached dwelling has no dwellings either above it or below it, and the two units together have open space on all sides.

Row house – One of three or more dwellings joined side by side (or occasionally side to back), such as a town house or garden home, but not having any other dwellings either above or below.
Apartment or flat in a duplex – One of two dwellings, located one above the other, may or may not be attached to other dwellings or buildings.
Apartment in a building that has five or more storeys – A dwelling unit in a high-rise apartment building which has five or more storeys.
Apartment in a building that has fewer than five storeys – A dwelling unit attached to other dwellings units, or other non-residential space in a building that has fewer than five storeys.
Other single-attached house – A single dwelling that is attached to another building and that does not fall into any of the other categories, such as a single dwelling attached to a non-residential structure (e.g., a store or a church) or occasionally to another residential structure (e.g., an apartment building).
Mobile home – A single dwelling, designed and constructed to be transported on its own chassis and capable of being moved to a new location on short notice. It may be placed temporarily on a foundation, such as blocks, posts or a prepared pad (which may be covered by a skirt).
Other movable dwelling – A single dwelling, other than a mobile home, used as a place of residence, but capable of being moved on short notice, such as a tent, recreational vehicle, travel trailer or houseboat.
Grouped Dwelling Types by Period of Construction
For comparative purposes the Census dwelling structure data types were re-grouped two dwelling
structure types in the graphic highlight pages:
Ground Related Dwellings by Period of Construction includes single and semi-detached houses, row/townhouses; apartment units in buildings with less than 5 storeys and apartments or flats in duplexes and other dwellings such as mobile homes.
Apartments in Buildings 5+ Storeys by Period of Construction include apartments in a building that has five or more storeys.

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. Where a number of people may
contribute to the payments, more than one person in the household may be identified as a household
maintainer. If no person in the household is identified as making such payments, the reference person
is identified by default. An occupied private dwelling will have at least one Primary Household
Maintainers (PHM). As a result, the number of PHMs can also serve as a proxy for the number of
households within each occupied dwelling.
Age Group of Primary Household Maintainer
Refers to the age at last birthday before the reference date, that is, before May 10, 2016.
Private Households
The private households universe is composed of sub-universes and variables which pertain to the
person or the group of persons (other than foreign residents) who occupy a private dwelling and do
not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada. Household variables are distinct from
dwelling variables, in that the latter ones pertain to dwelling characteristics, not to persons occupying
the dwelling.
Migration, Mobility & Languages Glossary
Generation Status
Generation status refers to whether or not the person or the person's parents were born in Canada. It identifies persons as being first generation, second generation or third generation or more. Generation status is derived from responses to questions concerning the person's place of birth and the place of birth of his or her parents. Within the generation status variable, the three main categories are defined as follows:
'First generation' includes persons who were born outside Canada. For the most part, these are people who are now, or have ever been, immigrants to Canada.
'Second generation' includes persons who were born in Canada and had at least one parent born outside Canada. For the most part, these are the children of immigrants.
'Third generation or more' includes persons who were born in Canada with both parents born in Canada.
Immigrant Status
Immigrant status refers to whether the respondent is a non-immigrant, an immigrant or a non-permanent resident.

Some immigrants have resided in Canada for a number of years, while others have arrived recently. Some immigrants are Canadian citizens, while others are not. Most immigrants are born outside Canada, but a small number are born in Canada. In the 2016 'Immigrants' includes immigrants who landed in Canada prior to May 10, 2016.
Non-permanent resident refers to a person from another country who has a work or study permit or who is a refugee claimant, and any non-Canadian-born family member living in Canada with them.
Recent Immigrant

Data on admission category are available for immigrants who landed in Canada between January 1, 1980 and May 10, 2016.
'Economic immigrants' includes immigrants who have been selected for their ability to contribute to Canada's economy through their ability to meet labour market needs, to own and manage or to build a business, to make a substantial investment, to create their own employment or to meet specific provincial or territorial labour market needs.
'Immigrants sponsored by family' includes immigrants who were sponsored by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and were granted permanent resident status on the basis of their relationship either as the spouse, partner, parent, grand-parent, child or other relative of this sponsor. The terms 'family class' or 'family reunification' are sometimes used to refer to this category.
'Refugees' includes immigrants who were granted permanent resident status on the basis of a well-founded fear of returning to their home country. This category includes persons who had a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in particular social group or for political opinion (Geneva Convention refugees) as well as persons who had been seriously and personally affected by civil war or armed conflict, or have suffered a massive violation of human rights. Some refugees were in Canada when they applied for refugee protection for themselves and their family members (either with them in Canada or abroad). Others were abroad and were referred for resettlement to Canada by the United Nations Refugee Agency, another designated referral organization or private sponsors.

Mobility Status – Place of residence 1 year ago
Information indicating whether the person lived in the same residence on the reference day, May 10, 2016, as he or she did one year before, May 10, 2015. This means that we have 'movers' and 'non-movers.' There are different types of 'movers': people who moved within the same city or town (non-migrants), people who moved to a different city or town (internal migrants) and people who came from another country to live in Canada (external migrants).
Mobility Status – Place of residence 5 years ago
Information indicating whether the person lived in the same residence on the reference day, May 10, 2016, as he or she did five years before, May 10, 2011. This means that we have 'movers' and 'non-movers.' There are different types of 'movers': people who moved within the same city or town (non-migrants), people who moved to a different city or town (internal migrants) and people who came from another country to live in Canada (external migrants).
Period of Immigration
Period of immigration refers to the period in which the immigrant first obtained his or her landed immigrant/permanent resident status.
A landed immigrant/permanent resident is a person who has been granted the right to live permanently in Canada by immigration authorities. Some immigrants have resided in Canada for a number of years, while others have arrived recently. Some immigrants are Canadian citizens, while others are not. Most immigrants are born outside Canada, but a small number are born in Canada. In the 2016 Census, 'Immigrants' includes immigrants who landed in Canada prior to May 10, 2016.
Place of Birth
Place of birth refers to the name of the province, territory or country in which the person was born. It may refer to a province or territory if the person was born in Canada. It refers to a country if the person was born outside Canada. The geographic location is specified according to boundaries current at the time the data are collected, not the boundaries at the time of birth.
Mother Tongue
Refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the individual at the
time of the Census.
Home Language
Refers to the language spoken most often or on a regular basis at home by the individual at the time

Information indicating the person's most advanced certificate, diploma or degree. This is a derived variable obtained from the educational qualifications questions, which asked for all certificates, diplomas and degrees to be reported. The general hierarchy used in deriving this variable (high school graduation, trades, college, university) is loosely tied to the 'in-class' duration of the various types of education.
At the detailed level, someone who has completed one type of certificate, diploma or degree will not necessarily have completed the credentials listed below it in the hierarchy. For example, a registered apprenticeship graduate may not have completed a high school certificate or diploma, nor does an individual with a master's degree necessarily have a 'certificate or diploma above the bachelor's level.' Although the hierarchy may not fit all programs perfectly, it gives a general measure of educational attainment. The following qualifications are to be noted:
For this variable, the category 'High school diploma or equivalent' includes persons who have completed the requirements for graduation from a secondary school or the equivalent, but no postsecondary certificate, diploma or degree.
