Results: Individuals economically at-risk

This MCE shows regions where the location quotients were above 1 or more in all 3 variables: populations that are retired, have sales and/or service occupations and spend 30% or more of their income on shelter costs. High MCE values are highlighted in red dissemination areas, with some accumulation near strathcona, north of West Point Grey and near Arbutus-Ridge to Oakridge. By pinpointing these areas, policy targeted towards alleviating individual economic burdens can be targeted to DAs that are most likely to be the most impacted. The lowest MCE values seem to be near Mount Pleasant, with the most accumulated areas colored in green, meaning these areas have the least vulnerable individuals in terms of an economic standpoint.
