This is what happens when artificial neighbourhoods are created instantaneously with all homes at only a couple different price points. Poor people from all the surrounding areas come to live lower city apartments because this is all they can afford. If the government built low income apartments in Waterdown, maybe we would see Waterdown as a yellow dot?
My neighbourhood in the lower city is shown as a red dot, although the majority of my neigbours own their homes and they are worth about $300,000. However there are several social housing buildings in the neighbourhood to bring the average down.
Ryan hit the nail on the head when he said we should be looking at the median instead of the mean income / health.
