Map: University admissions, Glendon College
Our series on neighbourhood patterns in university admission continues this week with York.
First, the Keele campus. The first thing I notice here is the overwhelming proportion of students from Vaughan, with secondary pockets in Markham and northwest Toronto. Rates are very low in the Yonge St. corridor and the inverted T shape of the former city of Toronto generally.
Glendon College's map shows neighbourhood patterns very different from York's much larger main campus on Keele. M4P in North Toronto heads the list, followed by M4G (Leaside) and M2H (Hillcrest Village).
Records were obtained under access-to-information laws.
Is anyone else having problems loading the maps on Safari? All I see is an empty box for both links.

We're trying to troubleshoot this, but in the meantime they both load well in Firefox.

Has there been any progress in troubleshooting the problem?

Quite strange, the total population for the same postal code on 2 maps is not consistent, specifically
1) http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps_090610.html?xml=090709_york_keele.xml
2) http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlemaps/starmaps_090610.html?xml=090717_uoft_stgeorge.xml
For M2N (willowdale area), the 2nd map shows 29,965 and the 1st map shows 60,164.
