1. Purpose of this Document

This methodological report describes the development of a Neighbourhood Equity Index in support of identifying Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIA) for the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020 (TSNS 2020). The work described in this document was conducted by the Social Policy, Analysis & Research Section (SPAR) of the Social Development, Finance & Administration Division (SDFA) of the City of Toronto in consultation with residents of Toronto, community agencies, academic experts and City of Toronto divisions, corporations and agencies.

The final selection of NIAs as part of TSNS 2020 is described in a separate report. This report can be found at http://www.toronto.ca/neighbourhoods.

2. Background

In 2005, Toronto City Council identified 22 of its 140 social planning neighbourhoods as a part of its Priority Neighbourhoods for Investment. This designation was made as part of a strategic initiative to address historic under-investment in the social infrastructure of some Toronto neighbourhoods. The identification of these Priority Neighbourhood Areas for Investment (PNIs) was based on a methodology identifying neighbourhoods in Toronto where vulnerable populations had low access to services, combined with areas of the city experiencing safety issues as identified in the Community Safety Plan.

After almost seven years of work in the PNIs, Council directed the Executive Director, Social Development, Finance and Administration Division to report back on an update to the Strategy. Council's direction focused on the need to better strengthen all neighbourhoods and monitor their wellbeing across a broader range of issues beyond service access and crime. The proposed updates to the City's neighbourhood-based initiatives were approved by Council in March 2012 when it adopted the report titled Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020.

Under TSNS 2020, a new set of neighbourhoods are to be identified, called Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs). NIAs are to be selected based on a determination of which neighbourhoods in Toronto are facing the most inequitable outcomes. By definition, an inequity is an unnecessary, unfair and unjust difference. Because these differences are unnecessary, action can be taken to remedy them. Correspondingly, the NIA selection criterion for TSNS 2020 is to reflect the strategy's goal of building an equitable set of social, economic and cultural opportunities for all residents, leading to equitable outcomes across all neighbourhoods.

To support the selection of new NIAs, the City of Toronto has developed a Neighbourhood Equity Index (NEI) based on data from the Urban HEART@Toronto research initiative. This index provides a broad quantitative assessment of neighbourhood wellbeing in Toronto, facilitating the recommendation of NIAs by the TSNS 2020 Steering Committee and final selection by Toronto City Council.

3. Methodology

3.1. Components of Neighbourhood Equity Index

The Neighbourhood Equity Index that is described in this document consists of two components:

(1) A Neighbourhood Equity Score for each of Toronto's 140 neighbourhoods:

This score is derived from 15 indicators of neighbourhood inequity across five thematic domains and describes how neighbourhoods in Toronto are faring relative to others. These indicators were provided to the City of Toronto by the Urban HEART@Toronto research initiative.

(2) A Neighbourhood Equity Benchmark:

This benchmark value is a composite score derived from a series of benchmark values selected by Urban HEART@Toronto. The benchmark delineates a score that signals that the overall burden of inequities faced by a neighbourhood requires immediate action..

3.3. Guiding Principles

There are several principles that guide the development of the NEI. First, the index should measure broad inequity across neighbourhoods. The objective of TSNS 2020 is to provide an equitable set of social, economic and cultural opportunities for all residents, with the goal of advancing equitable outcomes across all neighbourhoods. As a result, the index is designed to provide a composite measure of neighbourhood wellbeing across a broad range of different thematic domains. In turn, the indicators that make up the index are based on overall neighbourhood outcomes as opposed to such factors as service inputs or populations groups.

Second, the index must adhere to the existing 140 neighbourhood planning area boundaries developed by the City of Toronto. These boundaries were developed by SDFA based on standard Census geography (Census Tracts) in the mid-1990's as a geography for service planning purposes as opposed to being based on historic neighbourhood identity. They

3

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation have since been adopted by the City of Toronto, multiple agencies and organizations for reporting on social wellbeing. It is the intent to keep these boundaries consistent over time and as of 2014, they have not changed since their inception. Designating NIAs using these boundaries improves the ability to consistently monitor the wellbeing of NIAs over time. (See the Neighbourhood Profiles at www.toronto.ca/demographics for more details.)

Third, any indicators used to develop or verify the index must already be publicly accessible at the neighbourhood level. Given limited resources and the need to maximize validity and transparency, priority was given to using existing indicators of neighbourhood wellbeing. While this approach may not necessarily incorporate perfect measurements of inequity, it does allow for an immediately achievable framework for measuring neighbourhood outcomes. Because the implementation of TSNS 2020 will be iterative, development of new and better indicators can occur over the course of the strategy's implementation.

3.4. Data Sources

3.4.1. Urban HEART@Toronto Indicators

The NEI consists of indicator data provided by the Urban HEART@Toronto research initiative. This initiative builds off of work developed by the World Health Organization. Urban HEART stands for “Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool.” In 2010, the World Health Organization launched Urban HEART to help city leaders and their communities identify and resolve health and social inequities.

Because the WHO version of Urban HEART was designed for cities in urbanizing contexts, a modified version of the tool was developed for Toronto and comparable urban environments. The Toronto version was jointly developed the Centre for Research on Inner City Health/St. Michael's Hospital, the City of Toronto, United Way Toronto, the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network and WoodGreen Community Services.

Urban HEART@Toronto provides 15 indicators of neighbourhood inequity across five thematic domains based on a social determinants of health model. Possible indicators for inclusion were selected through an online Delphi process involving 80 expert researchers and data users from the Greater Toronto Area. The City of Toronto was one of the participants in the selection process and provided some technical advice on the selection of indicators.

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation

Once the long-list of indicators was identified, a short-list was proposed by the Urban HEART@Toronto team based on the availability of data at a neighbourhood level, whether the indicator contained sufficient variance and whether the data was publicly available and comparable. Based on these criteria, a final set of 15 indicators was selected and approved by the Urban HEART@Toronto Steering Committee in September 2013. These indicators are detailed in Table 1. Neighbourhood scores for each of these indicators are summarized and mapped in Appendix I.

It is important to note that these indicators are not population group measures. Because the goal of TSNS 2020 is to measure inequity, population group measures are inappropriate. For example, being young or having recently arrived in Toronto does not, on its own, constitute an inequity. However, an inability to find employment because one is young is an inequity. Therefore, the final set of indicators does not include concentrations of such equity seeking- groups as youth or newcomers. For the same reason, indicators are also not normalized by these subgroups. Instead, the final indicator set includes the outcomes of these inequities, such as unemployment.

3.4.2. Consultation Findings

Feedback received through a multi-format public consultation process involving online surveys, paper surveys distributed at community events and a series of 9 “Community Conversation” roundtables was used to support the interpretation and analysis of the Urban HEART@Toronto data. These consultations ran between October and November 2013, resulting in 1,421 survey

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation responses and qualitative notes summarizing the input gathered from over 230 participants in City-led meetings and 150 residents in community-agency led meetings. While no cluster sampling methods were used to reflect geographic representation across the City, mapping the respondent postal codes showed a satisfactory level of response from across Toronto compared to similar City of Toronto consultations conducted in the past.

Results from these consultations can be found online at http://www.toronto.ca/neighbourhoods.

Upon receiving the indicator data from Urban HEART@Toronto, the City of Toronto's Social Development, Finance & Administration (SDFA) Division conducted further consultations with members of the Toronto Community Data Program, academic experts from the Wellbeing Toronto Advisory Panel, the City of Toronto Research Network, the Social Planning Network of Ontario, Toronto Community Housing Corporation, Toronto Public Health, City divisions, community groups and agencies and Toronto residents on the optimal methodological weighting method for the NEI.

Results from both consultation processes were used to guide the methodological choices described in this document and were used to verify whether the neighbourhood equity scores reflected resident concerns.

3.4.3. Wellbeing Toronto

Finally, neighbourhood wellbeing indicators from Wellbeing Toronto (www.toronto.ca/wellbeing) were used to verify the results of the NEI design. The Neighbourhood Equity Scores were checked against demographic data to ensure that important equity-seeking groups are represented in the results of this analysis and issues raised in the community consultations were captured. Wellbeing Toronto data was also used to identify where the NEI scores are consistent with the geographic priorities of agencies, divisions and corporations from with the City of Toronto, and where they differed. . The indicators used in this analysis are drawn primarily from the 2011 Census and National Household Survey and are summarized at the neighbourhood level in Appendix III.

3.5. Developing the Neighbourhood Equity Index

There are four steps involved in developing a Neighbourhood Equity Score for the NEI:

1. Standardize indicator values 2. Determine indicator weighting 3. Calculate Neighbourhood Equity Score 4. Derive Neighbourhood Equity Benchmark

3.5.1. Indicator Standardization

The 15 Urban HEART@Toronto indicators are measured using different units. For some, such as unemployment, the indicator is presented as a percentage where higher percentages are more inequitable. For other indicators, such as Community Spaces for Meeting, the indicator is expressed as simply a count where lower counts are more inequitable. Because of these differences, indicator values must be standardized to a common range and consistent direction.

Fortunately, Urban HEART@Toronto provides standardized values for each of the 15 indicators. These standardized values range between 0 and 1, where 1 is assigned to the neighbourhood with the most inequitable outcome. The neighbourhood with the most equitable outcome is assigned a value of 0. The remaining neighbourhoods are assigned a score relative to those two polarities. The resulting standardized indicator values are summarized in Appendix II.

For indicators where high values signify increased inequity, such as unemployment, the standardized value is calculated as follows:

For indicators where low values signify inequity, such as postsecondary completion, the standardized value is calculated using the following formula, which reverses the direction of the underlying indicator:

3.5.2. Determine Indicator Weighting

Two indicator weighting options were considered for the NEI composite score. The first option was an equal domain weighting method. Under this method, standardized indicator values are averaged within their respective domains to adjust for the varying number of indicators within each domain. The five resulting domain scores are then given equal weight. The advantage of this method is in its simplicity. It also conceptually matches resident feedback which emphasized that all of the domains are important. The key disadvantage of this method, however, is that the weightings are not statistically derived and therefore overemphasize domains that do not actually describe differences between neighbourhoods.

The second method assigns each indicator a weight in proportion to its actual contribution in describing the differences between neighbourhoods. Weights are derived using a principal components analysis technique similar to those used in other studies of neighbourhood wellbeing (Murdie, Logan and Maaranen 2013; Krishnan 2010). The advantage of this method is that the resulting weights emphasize indicators that can differentiate neighbourhoods for NIA selection. Heavier weights are given to indicators where there are consistently large gaps between neighbourhoods. Indicators where gaps are smaller or where issues are scattered across a wide range of different types of neighbourhoods are given lighter weight. The disadvantage of this method is that the weights do not obviously match resident preferences.

This second method of weighting, however, actually produces NEI scores that are more reflective of how residents perceive the actual state of neighbourhoods in Toronto. Counter- intuitively, an equal weighting scheme makes it harder to differentiate neighbourhoods and creates a disproportionately high standard for neighbourhoods to be selected as an NIA. For example, most neighbourhoods fare poorly in the Physical Surroundings indicator set. If this domain was weighted equally as compared to the other domains, only neighbourhoods that fare extremely poorly on Physical Surroundings would rise to the top in the final NEI ranking. Neighbourhoods with serious issues in the other four domains, yet have average albeit still poor outcomes in Physical Surroundings, would see their ranking in the NEI fall. The result of an equal weighting scenario, therefore, actually results in underemphasizing many issues in Toronto that are more geographically concentrated.

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation

Based on these considerations and following consultations with community agencies, community leaders, City divisions and other implementation partners, the TSNS 2020 Steering Committee selected the this second weighting method as the preferred weighting scheme. The method for determining the exact weights for each of the indicators is explained below.

The weight for each standardized indicator is calculated using principle components analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation. PCA is a statistical data reduction technique that takes a larger set of indicators and derives a smaller set of “factors” that explain the maximum amount of variance in a sample. In doing so, PCA reveals the underlying structure of how the data is distributed. It also describes the strength of the relationship between each individual indicator and the underlying factors. For the purposes of this analysis, only factors that explained the bulk of the differences in the underlying data are used.

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation

The results of the PCA analysis are summarized in Table 2. Three factors, accounting for 73.8% of the total variance in the dataset were retained.

Factor 1 describes neighbourhoods with higher concentrations of residents facing broad socioeconomic challenges. These challenges include high unemployment, lower incomes, higher use of social assistance, greater marginalization, lower post secondary attainment, lower voting rates and higher incidents of mental health issues and diabetes.

Factor 2 describes neighbourhoods experiencing physical infrastructure challenges. This includes low access to meeting spaces, limited walkability and low access to healthy food stores. Notably, access to green space is negatively related to this factor. This is not entirely unexpected, as this opposing direction describes a tension in urban planning regarding in the appropriate amount of density in a neighbourhood.

Factor 3 describes neighbourhoods with residents facing acute vulnerabilities. These neighbourhoods have higher concentrations of residents receiving social assistance, have more residents with less than a high school education, have higher rates of premature mortality and higher rates of unnecessary hospitalizations.

The three factors correspond to commonly understood challenges facing neighbourhoods in Toronto and appear to provide a broad, valid description of neighbourhood inequity in Toronto. Using these factor results, weights for each of the 15 indicators are derived using the factor loadings for each indicator and the variance explained by each of the 3 retained factors. Two considerations influence how these pieces of information will be combined in the final weighting formula.

First, the Neighbourhood Equity Index is intended to identify differences between neighbourhoods. Methodologically, this is interpreted to mean that factors explaining the most variance should be weighted more heavily. This can be observed quantitatively from the eigenvalues of the three retained factors. The eigenvalue is a score summarizing the proportion of the total variance, or neighbourhood differences, that is present in the Urban HEART@Toronto data. Factors with higher eigenvalues will be weighted more heavily. Within each factor, the factor loading describes which indicators are more strongly related to each factor. The factor loadings will be used to determine how strongly each indicator is weighted within each factor.

Second, it was clear from the community consultations that all of the social and health issues depicted in the Urban HEART@Toronto model are conceptually important and interrelated. 11

TSNS 2020 Neighbourhood Equity Index Methodological Documentation

Participants in our consultations emphasized that issues making an impact in one domain also make impacts in others. Because of this, it was determined that all indicators would be retained in all three factors. Each indicator is weighted according to its respective factor loading in each factor. Lower factor loadings correspond to lighter weighting, correcting for weak relationships in the underlying data.

The composite weight for each indicator was derived using the following formula:

Once each indicator weight is calculated, they are further standardized so the sum of all indicator weightings is equal to 1:

Table 3 summarizes the final weights for each of the indicators. As noted above, access to green space is negatively related to the underlying factors and has a correspondingly small, but negative weighting. Although excluding this indicator from the final selection criterion was considered, it was retained because the negative score does reflect a real conceptual and policy tension. Excluding green space would suggest that the concept of green space has no relationship with neighbourhood equity. Retaining the variable more appropriately includes this policy tension in the underlying weighting scheme.

3.5.3. Calculate Neighbourhood Equity Score

Weighted neighbourhood scores are calculated by first multiplying the standardized indicator values for each neighbourhood by their respective indicator weights and then summing the products. The resulting score ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating maximum inequity:

To aid in the presentation and interpretation of the data, each weighted score is then reversed and multiplied by 100 so that the Neighbourhood Equity Score ranges from 0 to 100. A neighbourhood with a theoretical score of 0 would have the worst outcomes in Toronto for all 15 indicators. A theoretical score of 100 describes a neighbourhood with the best outcomes in Toronto for all 15 indicators.

The final Neighbourhood Equity Score is calculated as follows:

3.5.4. Calculate Neighbourhood Equity Benchmark

There is no obvious benchmark value under which neighbourhoods are clearly facing greater inequities than other neighbourhoods. As Figure 1 illustrates, when neighbourhood scores are plotted against their ranked order, there are no large gaps between neighbourhoods. Instead, there is a smooth line with no clear breaks differentiating neighbourhoods.

Nevertheless, a benchmark is required to facilitate the selection of neighbourhoods as NIAs. To calculate an objective, quantitative benchmark value, the recommended indicator benchmark values provided by Urban HEART@Toronto were used. These benchmark values were established by the Urban HEART@Toronto Benchmark Working Group and are based on one of four possible benchmarking methods: population quintiles, standard deviations, rate ratios or external markers. Table 5 summarizes the Urban HEART@Toronto recommended benchmarks as well as their weighted values based on the weighting scheme described in Sections 3.5.2 and 3.5.3.

More information on the individual indicator benchmarks can be found in the Urban HEART@Toronto technical documentation at http://www.torontohealthprofiles.ca/urbanheartattoronto.php.

The composite Neighbourhood Equity Benchmark was calculated at 42.89 using the same method used to calculate the Neighbourhood Equity Scores. As illustrated in the map on the next page, 31 out of 140 neighbourhoods in Toronto fall below this benchmark value.

3.6. Verification

To ensure that the Neighbourhood Equity Index accurately reflects key patterns of inequity in Toronto, the NEI was verified by cross-referencing Neighbourhood Equity Scores with data from other relevant social indicators. Though this verification process does not necessarily include an exhaustive list of indicators that could be analyzed, it does include indicators that were identified as important in the TSNS 2020 consultations and are available at a neighbourhood level of geography.

3.6.1. Population Groups

One of the most prevalent concerns raised by stakeholders about the Neighbourhood Equity Index was whether or not it sufficiently captures areas of the city with significant concentrations of equity-seeking groups. This includes children, youth, seniors, newcomers and visible minorities.

The demographic breakdown in Table 6 suggests that with the exception of seniors, neighbourhoods falling below the Neighbourhood Equity Benchmark have higher concentrations of important population subgroups compared to the City of Toronto average. Visible minorities, in particular, are disproportionately concentrated in below-benchmark neighbourhoods, capturing the link between racialization and social and health outcomes.

3.6.2. Other Social Indicators

Neighbourhood Equity Scores were also checked against a range of other indicators available through the Wellbeing Toronto application (www.toronto.ca/wellbeing). The expectation is that the Neighbourhood Equity Index should be strongly related with a range of important social indicators that are not included in the index. For example, although housing equity and community safety equity indicators were not available to include in the Urban HEART@Toronto model at this time, other proxies for these concepts were checked against the Index.

Table 7 summarizes the Pearson correlation coefficient scores between the Neighbourhood Equity Index and a range of other social indicators. Overall, the Neighbourhood Equity Index is strongly correlated to indicators measuring the suitability of housing, median property value and the number of people waiting for social housing. The NEI is also moderately correlated to the Early Development Instrument, a count of homicides by neighbourhood since 2009, housing affordability and the major crime rate.

Table 7. Neighbourhood Equity Index Verification

The NEI is a good spatial match to these social indicators as well, with housing indicators exhibiting the closest match as can be seen on the maps in Appendix III. Table 8 summarizes these comparisons by showing how many of the 31 under benchmark neighbourhoods match the bottom 31 neighbourhoods for a variety of other social indicators. Housing exhibits the best match, with 77% of the 31 neighbourhoods under the NEI benchmark in the bottom 31 neighbourhoods in terms of housing suitability. Similarly, 74% of the NEI under-benchmark neighbourhoods are in the lowest 31 neighbourhoods in terms of median property value and

55% of the NEI under-benchmark neighbourhoods are in the top 31 neighbourhoods in terms of the number of applicants waiting for social housing.

4. Next Steps

It is always difficult to achieve consensus on a single composite measure of social wellbeing. There are countless indices that attempt to, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The Neighbourhood Equity Index described here is no different. The NEI was developed with significant consultation, much healthy debate and rigorous statistical evaluation over many months.

The NEI does have limitations and contains opportunities for future improvement. Driven by the need to be immediately implementable, the NEI does not contain some indicators that were suggested through consultations. In particular, high-quality equity indicators at the neighbourhood level for housing, safety and transit were flagged as important when evaluating how neighbourhoods in Toronto are doing. Equity indicators for participation in decision- making, racism and the strength of the community service system were also flagged as very important. Unfortunately, these indicators are not currently available for a neighbourhood-level analysis. There is, however, a significant opportunity to develop these indicators in the future.

Nevertheless, the Neighbourhood Equity Index described here is a suitable scientific and quantitative approach to identifying NIAs that takes into account the availability and inherent limitations of data at the current time. The result of this process is an indicator set that considers carefully the feedback received from Torontonians and well-serves the selection of NIAs for the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020.
