A Profile of Downtown Municipal Wards 2, 3, 4 and 5

The Social Planning and Research Council of Hamilton (SPRC) is a non-profit, registered charitable organization governed by a community-based Board of Directors. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Hamilton through strengthening the community's understanding of social problems, developing strategies and the community's capacity for addressing these problems, and assisting community groups to implement these strategies. This report presents a profile of Hamilton’s downtown municipal wards 2, 3, 4, and 5, including selected demographic characteristics and community service inventories (see APPENDIX A for maps of individual ward boundaries). In terms of population characteristics, the report considers the age distribution of the population, levels of education, immigrant and visible minority groups, employment and income levels. The data presented was collected during Statistics Canada’s 2006 census.
