Toronto Mapped

The Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation (CIMD) is a tool for understanding patterns of inequality across Canada. The CIMD provides four measures of deprivation at the neighbourhood level, considering residential instability, economic dependency, ethno-cultural composition, and situational vulnerability. This map shows all four measures of deprivation.

The buildings are taken from Microsoft's AI sourced building footprints - there are around 11 million in total mapped!
