| Description | This east Toronto riding is predominantly residential, with a large blue-collar population.
The riding runs from the Toronto Outer Harbour in the south to the east branch of the Don River in the north; and from Coxwell Boulevard and Coxwell Avenue in the east to the Keating Channel, Don Valley Parkway and Don River in the west.
The riding includes the East York, Riverdale, Leslieville and Danforth neighbourhoods and the Leslie Street spit. There are only slightly more owned dwellings than rentals, 52 per cent to 48 per cent. The area has some commercial and light industry and major redevelopment is planned along the waterfront. Average family income is $67,551 and unemployment is 6.7 per cent.
According to the 2001 census, the immigrant population is more than 41 per cent. Almost 17 per cent listed Chinese as their ethnic origin and seven per cent are Greek. Over 41 per cent gave a language other than English or French as their mother tongue.
Broadview-Greenwood riding was created in 1976 from 73 per cent of Broadview and 27 per cent of York East ridings. In 1996, a part of Beaches-Woodbine riding was added. In 2000, the riding name was changed to Toronto-Danforth. In 2004, the southeastern boundary of the riding was moved from Leslie Street to Coxwell Avenue. |
