This report recommends that Council adopt a neighbourhood equity score for establishing Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs) under the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020 (TSNS 2020). The recommended neighbourhood equity score is a single number designed to capture the total weight of unnecessary, unfair and unjust differences faced by neighbourhood residents in five key areas: economic opportunities, social development, healthy lives, Participation in decision-making and physical surroundings. The score and benchmark have been calculated using Urban HEART@Toronto, an evidence-based standard for measuring the well-being of Toronto's neighbourhoods.
