Maps

The Immigration and Diversity Maps display immigration- and diversity-related population characteristics in British Columbia’s regions and selected communities.  The information is taken from the 2006 Census, which is considered to provide the most accurate and complete statistical portrait of populations in Canada and B.C.  

They can help you answer questions like:

1. Where are immigrants and recent immigrants most concentrated?
2. In what neighbourhoods are people speaking various languages concentrated?
3. What areas have the highest proportions of Visible Minorities?
