The region of York used Statistics Canada's 2016 Census to analyze the distribution of recent immigrants by local municipality and has gained a few interesting insights:

• Top 3 countires of origin for recent immigrants in York are China, Iran, and the Phillippines
• 47% of York's residents were born outside of Canada, which ranks 3rd highest in Ontario (behind Peel and Toronto)
• Recent immigrants (between 2011 and 2018) account for 10% of all immigrants in York

The Community Data Program (CDP) enables its users to access a wide variety of data, and the resulting projects are always quite interesting to share. What projects have you created or leveraged using data from CDP's catalogue? We will be showcasing these initiatives, so if you have an project to share, let us know and we can include it as part of our snaphot.
