Almost 70% of all poor people - almost 3.3 million - lived in Canada’s 25 largest urban areas in 2000. Responding to these pressing human needs presents an enormous challenge - and one which requires planning, persistence, and partnerships.

The Urban Poverty Project (UPP) supports those efforts with reliable data and analysis. Community Profiles is the first product from the Urban Poverty Project. It provides 2001 Census data on 13 critical social indicators in a concise fact sheet format for 111 places in Canada, including cities, regions and provinces.

Before you download this product, please take a moment to answer these three questions.

Community Profiles: The National Edition is the full downloadable compendium of all 111 places.

Community Profiles: The Social Planning Edition is a subset of 36 of those places, and is geared specifically towards social planning organizations.

The Community Profiles can also be accessed individually using the tool below.
