Map of the Week: Lack of English fluency

The 2006 census found that English fluency* falls below 90% in two areas of the GTA (map):

1)  the neighbourhoods immediately east and west of downtown (three postal codes centring on Dundas and Ossington, Dundas and Spadina and Queen and Carlaw), and

2) northwestern Scarborough and a pocket of Markham (two neighbourhoods centred on Finch and McCowan, another to the west centred on Finch and Warden, and another in Markham centred on Finch and Hwy. 407.)

* (total census respondents minus those saying they spoke French only or neither English nor French)

This part doesn't make sense, because Finch doesn't go to Vaughan, and there is no green shown in Vaughan on the map.

2) northwestern Scarborough and a pocket of Vaughan (two neighbourhoods centred on Finch and McCowan, another to the west centred on Finch and Warden, and another in Vaughan centred on Finch and Hwy. 407.)

This mistake (Vaughan sted Markham) has been corrected.
