7. Map of Neighbourhoods. This map shows the rates by neighbourhoods (darker colours indicate higher rates while lighter colours indicate lower rates), with the selected neighbourhood highlighted. Users can zoom in on the map using the controls on the top left side, and scroll around the map by clicking and dragging on the map. Hovering over any of the neighbourhoods will bring up a box containing the rate for that neighbourhood.
8. Bar Chart of Selected Year Results. This bar chart displays rates and associated confidence intervals with the selected neighbourhood highlighted and comparison geography as a solid line running parallel to the x-axis. Hovering over any of the bars will bring up a box containing the rate for that neighbourhood.
9. Trends Over Time. This chart shows trends over time for all available years for the selected neighbourhood and comparison geography. Hovering over the points on the line will bring up a box containing the rate for that neighbourhood.
10. Table of Selected Year Results for Neighbourhood. This table shows rates, confidence intervals, number of cases and sample notes. The shaded circles to the left of the names indicate the colours used to show results for the neighbourhood in both the bar chart and the map. Click on any neighbourhood to highlight it in the bar chart and show a time trend where data is available.  Click on certain column headers to sort the table by that variable.
11. Table of Selected Year Results for Comparison Geographies. This table shows rates, confidence intervals, number of cases and sample notes. The shaded circles to the left of the names indicate the colours used to show results for the comparator in both the bar chart and the time trend. Click on any area to add it to the bar chart and time trend where data is available. In the bar chart the comparator will appear as a horizontal line for that year.

13. Footnotes. This section provides information about the specifics of the reported data (e.g. weighting, 95% confidence interval),  its source and the date when last updated.
14. Legend. This section shows the colours denoting the rate ranges used to shade the map and bar chart. Click on any of the coloured boxes to highlight all neighbourhoods in that range in the map, charts and table.

Other Features:

  • Right Pointing Up Arrow in Top Corner.  Hovering over the map, a chart, a table or the legend will show a right pointing up arrow.  Clicking on the right pointing up arrow will maximize that section to fit your screen.  You cannot print or save from that view.
