Vancouver Demographic Report – University Lands January 2019 The Vancouver Early Years Partnership (VEYP) and the Human Early Partnership (HELP) collaborated on a research project to produce detailed demographic profiles for all 21 Vancouver Neighbourhoods. These profiles have gathered the key data that we know about children and families in our city into one place. The intention of these profiles is to encourage thought, reflection, conversation and the desire to know more and do more. Our hope is that this information provides local planning tables, service providers, government, funders and others the data needed to work collaboratively to make changes that will improve the lives of children and their families. Thank you to Barry Forer, our lead researcher, and Pippa Rowcliffe from HELP; Peter Marriott from the City of Vancouver; Claire Gram and Lianne Carley from Vancouver Coastal Health for your advice and support! Finally, many thanks to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Children First, for funding this project. Together we can make a difference for children! Sincerely, on behalf of the Vancouver Early Years Partnership, Sandra Menzer Kim Adamson

INCOME INEQUALITY
Gini Coefficient One common way of measuring distribution of income in a population is the Gini Coefficient, named after the Italian statistician who developed it in 1912. The values of the Gini Coefficient range from 0 to 1, where 0 represents the situation where everyone in the population has exactly the same income, and 1 represents the situation where only one person in the population has all of the income. Therefore, the higher the Gini Coefficient, the more income inequality there is in the population. People who live in places with higher levels of income inequality tend to have higher rates of poor health and social outcomes.

HELP SES INDEX The HELP SES Index is a composite of seven census and taxfiler variables (see below) that together are particularly strong in accounting for the differences in EDI vulnerability rates across the province. The Index is set to an arbitrary value of 100 for the province in 2006. The HELP SES Index provides one overall SES number that can be used to show changes in SES over time, or to compare neighbourhoods at one point in time.

HEALTH-RELATED DATA FOR VANCOUVER
My Health, My Community My Health My Community is a web-based health and wellness survey that gives residents the opportunity to help influence their community’s health priorities. This innovative new initiative was created through a joint partnership between Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health and the UBC Faculty of Medicine eHealth Strategy Office. The survey asks people, aged 18 and up who live in the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health regions, to provide information about their health, lifestyle choices, community involvement and neighbourhood characteristics. This information will help us improve future community programs and services that are more relevant to your health and wellness needs.
