The overall position is a summary of the four measures below. Those are the useful numbers — a single combined figure compresses most of Toronto into a narrow band and separates very little.

- Strongest on neighbourhood character — 38th of 158, top quarter.
- Weakest on transit access — 148th, which is bottom quarter.
- No subway stop inside the boundary — 35 surface transit stops serve the area.

How this was measured
Everything here is computed from open data: City of Toronto address points, building permits and neighbourhood boundaries; Toronto Police Service major crime indicators; TTC schedules; and TDSB and TCDSB school locations.
School figures are proximity only. No school rating or ranking is used anywhere on this site — a distance to a school is a verifiable fact about a location, while a school rating largely reflects the income and demographics of its catchment.
Neighbourhood character is derived from reported incident volume, severity-weighted using the Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index method, so that offences of very different seriousness are not counted as equivalent.
