The Unequal City: Income and Health Inequalities in Toronto

This report presents new data for Toronto showing a clear link between health and income across our city. Those areas of Toronto that have a greater proportion of people living with low income experience greater risk factors for illness, higher rates of disease, and death at an earlier age. Areas with a smaller proportion of low income – areas that are relatively richer – have better health. These differences are referred to as health inequalities.
