Armada Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Pretty neat and I would say quite accurate. I'm in New West and there definitely is a large Filipino community. I don't know why there is such a high Chinese population in the forests on the north shore. Interactive Map available in the link. A new heat map by Estate Block utilizes data from the National Household Survey to determine where different immigrant ethnicities reside in Metro Vancouver and across the South Coast. The map, built by Estate Block and shared across Reddit, highlights where 10 of the most populous groups of immigrants live, including those from the United Kingdom, India, China, Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea, Iran, United States, Netherlands and Taiwan. Immigrants in Metro Vancouver by majority in the neighbourhood shows Chinese make up the largest proportion of immigrants in most of Metro Vancouver, particularly the City of Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond. http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2015/05/immigrant-map-live-metro-vancouver/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakanucks Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Why are China and Hong Kong separate? Because we used to be separate. But maybe they tried to separate Cantonese/Mandarin speakers?? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakanucks Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Is Deer lake area mainly immigrants from China now? It used to be more of a mix of everything when I grew up there lol. In fact, we only had 3 from Taiwan, 2 from Hong Kong, 1 from China, and about 5-6 from India in my whole grade in elementary school. But that was wayyyyyyyyyy back then though.............=( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 That map is highly inaccurate. eg. 2.2% Phillpine in Robson Vancouver and the whole area is colored yellow. Who is the other 98%? 5.6% China - Yaletown - yet the area is coloured Red for China - 94% are NOT Chinese. 4.13% UK - in Fairview - How about the other 96%? these small % does not make them the majority population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant, China immigrants wasn't the majority immigrant population back when I grew up there, in fact, it was mostly immigrants from Taiwan/Hong Kong. So I was surprised to see it Red. Meanwhile Burnaby Lake area is Pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
