Quote from James: "If anyone can disprove what I'm saying with empirical evidence ... (I) will willingly change my position."
Quote from James: "Where on earth has everyone gotten the idea that Hamilton taxpayers subsidize those In outlying areas (I'm avoiding the term burbs here because quite frankly, Hamilton mountain is far more sprawled out than my town of Waterdown)."
-------------------
Okay James, here is some empirical evidence. You agreed to change your opinion in light of such evidence...
DENSITY CALCULATIONS:
Hamilton City: 173,595 pop / 13,054.54 = 13.3/ac
Hamilton Mountain: 143,702 pop / 12,558.19 ac = 11.4/ac
Waterdown & Flamborough: 72,548 pop / 139,203.66 ac = .52/ac
Ward 15 alone: ? pop / 36,798.66 ac = ?
**Can anyone find Ward 15 population statistic? It cannot include any of Ward 14 to be valid.
So...
- Hamilton Mountain density is 22 times more dense than Waterdown/Flamborough
-Hamilton City is 26 times more dense than Waterdown/Flamborough.
EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE:
DENSITY PER AREA:
Reference for Ward Area in acres has not changed (population data on this document is from 2001 and NOT USED in the density calculations): map.hamilton.ca/Static/PDFs/WardMaps/AllWards_Statistics.pdf
Hamilton City: Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, Ward 4 (3,759.00 ac + 1,635.74 ac + 3,570.92 ac + 4,088.88 ac) = 13,054.54 ac
Hamilton Mountain: Ward 6, Ward 7, Ward 8 (3,950.97 ac + 4,315.35 ac + 4,291.87 ac) = 12,558.19 ac
Waterdown, Flamborough: Ward 14, 15 (102,405.00 ac + 36,798.66 ac) = 139,203.66 ac
POPULATION BREAKDOWN BY POSTAL CODE / AREA:
