It is bordered by the CN line, Keele Street and Lavender Road in the west, Eglinton Avenue West, Dufferin Street, Rogers Road and Holland Park Avenue in the north and Winona Drive and Ossington Avenue in the east.
It contains the province's largest immigrant population, at 55 per cent. It has the largest Portuguese community in Ontario, a large Italian and Vietnamese community and a large black community.
The economic base is sustained by the manufacturing sector and a significant proportion of residents are employed in the construction industry. More than 20 per cent of the population did not reach Grade 9 education.

The riding was established in 1933. Redistribution in 1986 and 1996 added territory to the north and east. In the 2004 redistribution, Davenport took in part of Trinity-Spadina and part of York South-Weston.
