Census Data: Immigrant Populations and Vancouver

census data: Many neighbourhoods are dominated by immigrant populations one likely expects they would be, according to Georgia Asian. For example, much of North Vancouver is light green for Iran, South Vancouver is red for China, Richmond is split between China and yellow for the Philippines, Surrey goes dark green for India, and so on. Taking data from the National Household Survey which was last conducted in 2011 the map assigns colours that denote the largest immigrant population living in any one area. But other areas show more surprising results. A map relying on 2011 census data provides a snapshot of which immigrant populations hold a majority in neighbourhoods throughout Metro Vancouver. For example, Sunset Beach has been assigned light green for Mexico, part of Coquitlam shows orange for a large Romanian population, and the United Kingdom's blue holds a large section of Langley.
