Social Risk Index
Elementary and Secondary Schools
Introduction
The Social Risk Index
The conceptual model for the Social Risk Index was developed by Human Resources
Development Canada (HRDC, 2003) as a tool for providing a general picture of potential risks in
communities. The index contains nine variables that profile the socio-economic context of
communities.
The nine social risk indicators were compared to national, provincial, Peel Region, City of
Mississauga, City of Brampton, and the Town of Caledon averages. The report presents the
social risk profiles for three points in time (1996 vs. 2001 vs. 2006), and documents how the
social risk indicators have changed over the ten-year period from 1996 – 2006. The Census data
used in this report are from the 1996, 2001, and 2006 Census. Mapping files were obtained from
Statistics Canada, the Region of Peel Planning Department, and the Peel District School Board.
Social Risk Index Variables
The nine social risk indicators used in calculating the Social Risk Index were:
(1) Average Household Income: Average household income was defined as the average annual
gross income reported by Peel households in 1996, 2001, and 2006. All households were
included in the calculation of the average income figure.
(2) Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate variable is the rate of all unemployed Peel
residents aged 15 and over in 1996, 2001, and 2006.
(3) Proportion of Residents 15 Years and Older Who Lacked a High School Diploma: This
variable represents the 1996, 2001, and 2006 proportion of Peel residents aged 15 and
over who did not complete their secondary school studies. Both Canadian and foreign
education experiences were included in the calculation of this variable.
(4) Proportion of Owner-Occupied Dwellings: Proportion of owner-occupied dwellings refers
to the percentage of residential dwellings that were privately owned in Peel. This
variable identifies the proportion of residents who owned their homes in 1996, 2001, and
2006.
(5) Mobility Over One Year: Mobility over one year is a measure of community transience.
This variable provides the proportion of Peel residents who made a residential move any
time within the 12 months prior to the collection of the 1996, 2001, and 2006 Census
data.

(6) Knowledge of Canada's Official Languages: This variable provides the proportion of Peel
residents who spoke neither English nor French in 1996, 2001, and 2006.
(7) Proportion of Recent Immigrants: Proportion of recent immigrants is a measure of a
community's cultural diversity. Recent immigrants to Peel were defined as newcomers
who arrived in Canada between 1992 – 1996, 1997 – 2001, and 2002 – 2006.
(8) Lone Parent Families: This variable is a measure of family structure and represents the
proportion of Peel families with children that were headed by a lone parent of either
gender in 1996, 2001, and 2006.
(9) Reliance Upon Government Transfer Payments: This variable represents the proportion of
a household's gross annual household income that is comprised of government payments
rather than employment income. Such payments include welfare, child benefits, old age
security, employment insurance, etc. The average proportion of gross annual income
made up of these payments was calculated for Peel households in 1996, 2001, and 2006.
Calculation of the Social Risk Index
The Social Risk Index was calculated using Enumeration Areas (EAs) in 1996 and
Dissemination Areas (DAs) in 2001 and 2006. They are the smallest standard geographic units
used by Statistics Canada when reporting Census data. Since DAs are geographically larger than
EAs, a portion of the difference between the 1996 and the 2001/2006 results may be due to using
different units as the basis of calculating the Social Risk Index. Maps 1 to 11 display the
distribution of DAs for the Peel Region.
Students' home addresses were linked to EAs in 1996, and DAs in 2001 and 2006. Each EA and
DA was then compared to the Peel average, and assigned either a one or a zero according to its
level of risk. A weighted score for each EA and DA was calculated by adding the indicators
together, resulting in a score out of nine, and multiplying it by the percentage of students living
in that EA or DA. The Social Risk Index for the Peel Region and each municipality was
calculated by adding the weighted score for each EA and DA. Tables 1 through 4 present the
Social Risk Index for 1996, 2001, and 2006.
The Social Risk Index scores range from zero to nine with higher scores indicating increased
levels of social risk. Both the elementary and secondary school Social Risk Index scores are
presented in quartiles and labelled: “High Social Risk”, “Somewhat High Social Risk”,
“Somewhat Low Social Risk”, and “Low Social Risk.” Although the results for each school
within each quartile are presented in descending order of social risk, it should not be assumed
that there is a statistically significant difference in the level of social risk between schools within
each quartile or between the four quartiles.
