The Toronto Economic Dashboard offers a timely bird’s-eye view of Toronto’s economy in both graphical and tabular format, including data on financial, real estate and the labour market, with select demographic information.
Alongside dashboards on the City’s website, such as Toronto’s Dashboard and the Toronto Housing Data Hub, these resources provide a snapshot of Toronto’s socio-economic conditions by situating economic trends within broader patterns of employment opportunity, housing affordability, and residents’ ability to access and benefit from economic growth, supporting the tracking of shared prosperity across Toronto in alignment with the City of Toronto Inclusive Economic Development Framework.
Time series data (in CSV file format) for each of the individual indicators can be exported directly through the application. The Toronto Economic Dashboard is updated weekly.
