Abstract (English)

Spaces and Places of Exclusion: Mapping Rental Housing Disparities for Toronto’s Racialized and Immigrant Communities is a first-of-its-kind study, mapping spatial exclusion by racialized and immigrant status in Toronto’s wards. Disaggregated race-based and other social data from the 2016 Census of Population are used to examine key indicators of rental housing inequality, including core housing need, lack of affordable housing, unsuitable or overcrowded housing, and housing in need of major repair. Presented through over 50 new maps and figures, our analysis : * the ways in which racialized individuals, specific racialized population groups, newcomers, and refugees are disproportionately affected by the housing crisis in Toronto; * identifies the intersecting social, racial, and spatial dimensions of Toronto’s housing crisis; and * confirms Toronto’s position as a major site of Canada’s housing crisis and highlights the precarious housing circumstances of many renters.
