There's another story in here somewhere

In a Toronto Star article about teen pregnancy (the article is not particularly relevant to this post) there's a map showing the correlation between low income and teen pregnancy. (PDF)

The map makes its point and I'm not going to get into that because it's not particularly interesting. What's interesting is that there are two neighbourhoods on the map where high income correlates with high pregnancy rates. One is the northeast corner of the Danforth/DVP intersection, and the other extends vertically from the DVP to Eglinton - it's where the DVP would go if it didn't veer eastward halfway between Danforth and Eglinton.

I've done some googling and identified these neighbourhoods. The City of Toronto calls the Playter Estates-Danforth and Leaside-Bennington, respectively. But I can't tell what it is about these neighbourhoods that gives them higher teen pregnancy rates when they have socioeconomic conditions that are normally associated with lower teen pregnancy rates.

Of course, neighbourhoods as defined by the City of Toronto don't necessarily coincide with neighbourhoods as defined by the people who live there. For example, they define the people living on the other side of Yonge from where I live as being in a different neighbourhood, even though we all think we live in the same neighbourhod. But nevertheless, I still think there's another story in here somewhere.
