| Description |
This residential riding in west-end Toronto runs the gamut from stately homes near the Kingsway to pockets of no-frills public housing.
Etobicoke Centre is bordered by the Humber River to the east, Highway 401 and Dixon Road to the north, the CP line, Mimico Creek, Burnhamthorpe Road and Highway 427 to the south and Etobicoke Creek and Dundas Street West to the west.
According to the 2001 census, more than 19 per cent of the population is over 65, the highest such percentage in Ontario. The immigrant population is 42 per cent and more than 10 per cent are Italian.
Manufacturing is the largest employer, followed by retail trade and the service sector. Average family income is $93,277 and the unemployment rate is 5.9 per cent.
Etobicoke Centre riding was created in 1976 from parts of the former Etobicoke riding and High Park-Humber Valley. In 1996, 21 per cent of Etobicoke North was added. In the 2004 redistribution, a small part of Etobicoke North was added to Etobicoke Centre's northeastern edge.
Population: 111,792
