The publication divides the trends into six major categories:
tracking the Trends 2011 also features a special
section on Edmonton’s increasing diversity. Edmonton is becoming a
more plural city in terms of religion, race and ethnic origin. These
trends have important implications for Edmonton’s future, offering both
opportunities and challenges.
- Demographics - indicators of population growth, immigration and population diversity.
- Education & Employment - indicators of educational achievement and employment status of the population.
- Cost of Living & Housing Trends - indicators of the costs of basic necessities, such as food and housing, as well as the housing status of the population.
- Wages, Income & Wealth - indicators of the changing value of the wages, incomes and net worth of individuals and families.
- Poverty - indicators of the prevalence of low income, as well as the incidence of acute forms of poverty, such as homelessness.
- Government Income Supports - indicators of the investments made by governments towards improving financial security and the impact of those investments on low income families.
This edition also includes an updated Social Health Index. The intent of this index is to provide a rough measure of the overall social health of Edmonton, and how it has changed over time.
