This map shows the probability that two random people belong to different ethnic groups. A diversity index of 0 means that all people in the area belong to the same ethnic group. The highest possible index of 0.93 corresponds to a perfect mix of ethnic groups, with equal the proportion of each ethnic group in the region. We greyed out areas where we detected large amounts of statistical or privacy-preserving rounding. Compare this to the corresponding map based on 2011 data.

As always, our maps are Canada-wide. Use the search bar, zoom and pan around to explore different regions of Canada.
