A Profile of Wellbeing in Ontario: The West Region
November 3, 2020
The West region of Ontario has a population that is generally older with over a third of the population over the age of 50 years, married and living in their own homes. Relatively low numbers of people — about 1 in 10 — are members of a visible minority. The region has the second highest percentages of people compared to Ontario overall in low income and facing food insecurity. These characteristics are of concern because they indicate that a significant number of the residents in the West region are facing greater economic uncertainty. From Ontario Trillium Foundation.
