This COVID-19 map is another example of why the City needs to update its neighbourhood definitions. Lumping like seven different communities into “Waterfront Communities - The Island” makes for bad data.pic.twitter.com/RrEIlJdoha
Another comparison: COVID-19 cases by neighbourhood versus @Sean_YYZ’s map of TTC routes that were still experiencing crowding in early days of pandemic. (via http://spacing.ca/toronto/2020/04/01/marhsall-mapping-ttc-crowding-during-a-pandemic/ …)pic.twitter.com/w72tCQXkTZ

By request, here’s total cases compared to a map of Toronto’s long-term care homes (from 2018). I don’t really see a strong correlation here, though outbreaks at some homes (e.g. Humber Heights in North Etobicoke) would obviously impact neighbourhood numbers.pic.twitter.com/6xmKBPBxB2
You can actually filter the city’s map by sporadic cases (spread in community) versus outbreaks (spread in close spaces like long-term care homes & shelters). https://www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/covid-19-latest-city-of-toronto-news/covid-19-status-of-cases-in-toronto/ …pic.twitter.com/3q611qzuG6
Is it just me, or is the cases-by-neighbourhood map no longer on the City’s data page?https://www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/covid-19-latest-city-of-toronto-news/covid-19-status-of-cases-in-toronto/ …
Not just me, apparently! Any idea where the cases-by-neighbourhood map went, @bradrossTO, @TOPublicHealth?
The map has returned.https://www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/covid-19-latest-city-of-toronto-news/covid-19-status-of-cases-in-toronto/ …
City has updated its data and changed some of the per-neighbourhood numbers. This is *enormously frustrating*. Here’s the latest, total cases & per 100K.pic.twitter.com/wnPy1Hxkil
City Hall reporters won’t express opinions because they are pros, but I am not a reporter but instead a columnist, so I will say: this sucks. Get your data right before you release it. Conclusions re: low-income neighbourhoods are basically the same, but still.
Ryan is doing some good analysis of the updated data. https://twitter.com/ryancbriggs/status/1265832612502913024 …
