| Description | This north Toronto riding takes in part of the former city of North York, including York University and the former Downsview airport.
The riding lies between Highway 401 in the south and Steeles Avenue West in the north, between Yonge Street, the hydro transmission line, Bathurst Street and the west branch of the Don River in the east, and Keele Street, Grandravine Drive, Sheppard Avenue West and Jane Street in the west.
Tenants and renters outnumber homeowners 53 per cent to 47 per cent in this suburban riding. The manufacturing sector is the major employer. Average family income is $64,010 and unemployment is seven per cent.
According to the 2001 census, the immigrant population is 57 per cent, with 13 per cent of Italian origin, 17 per cent Jewish and 12 per cent Russian. Only 41 per cent gave English as their mother tongue
York Centre was re-established in 1952. The 1996 redistribution kept 82 per cent of the riding and added part of Willowdale. In 2000, another portion of Willowdale was added in the east, moving the riding boundary to Yonge Street and the northwestern boundary has moved west to Keele Street.
Population: 113,420 |
