Moving on from yesterday’s brief overview of immigrant populations in selected PEI places, I did a little hacking today to extract data for all of Prince Edward Island’s 109 Census Subdivisions (there are actually 113, but the Lennox Island, Rocky Point, Morell and Scotchfort subdivisions don’t have immigration data).

My assumption going in was that Charlottetown, of course, would have the highest proportion of immigrants (I have nothing to base this on by anecdotal information and perhaps a limited view of who’s an “immigrant”). Turns out that Charlottetown is ranked #25, and is surpassed by such cosmopolitan enclaves as Montague, Kinkora, Miminegash.

The most immigrant-rich area of PEI? Lot 30. It’s a thin sliver of a census subdivision that runs up from the shore between Clyde River and Victoria, and includes parts of St. Catherines and Brookvale. 12.5% of the population in Lot 30 are immigrants (95 of 760 residents).

The second most immigrant-rich area is Lot 58, another thin census subdivision that runs along the eastern half of Point Prim and inland.

Here’s a table showing the all of PEI’s census subdivisions, sorted in descending order of the percentage immigrant population. The data is from the 2006 Census Community Profiles.
