NEI Population Groups

Portraits of Population Groups: Youth

All youth have the potential to play an extraordinary role in transforming Ottawa cultural, social, and workforce environment. While many youths are successful and actively engaged with community, others face challenges finding their own place in Ottawa society.

The data and maps on this page provide insight into the diversity of youth population across Ottawa neighbourhoods and the challenges they might be facing.
