Three Most Interesting Findings-

Less Population Growth As Compared To The Most-

The population in my neighbourhood experienced a growth rate of 2.1% from 2016 to 2021, whereas the Vancouver CMA had a growth rate of 7.3%, resulting in a difference of 5.2%. That is simply because, in my opinion, everyone in my neighbourhood is a student and we are all in the process of determining whether to relocate to another province to obtain citizenship or residence. Vancouver serves as the central point for all industries. From my perspective, people are migrating to Vancouver in search of improved employment opportunities and a higher quality of life. Similarly, I am considering relocating to another location for better career prospects.

No Use Of Bicycles As Compared To The Most-

In my community, there is a complete absence of employed individuals above the age of 15 who use bicycles for transportation, unlike in Vancouver CMA where 18,225 out of 978,560 working individuals, or around 1.8% of the labour force, use bicycles for commuting.

In my perspective, residents of Vancouver, particularly those residing in or near Downtown, tend to Favour the usage of bicycles for transportation due to the restricted availability of parking spaces for cars and the congestion of public transit during peak business hours.

 

This Neighbourhood Possesses Less Median Income As Compared To The Most-

The median total income among participants in my neighbourhood in 2020 was $34,400, whereas in the Vancouver CMA, it was $40,800. The sole factor, in my opinion, could be the restriction on working hours for international students, which impacts the average total income among the recipients in my neighbourhood.
