*Economic diversity: The economic diversity for each ward was calculated from the number
of income sources. First, the percentage of family with one type of income source was
multiplied by 1, that with two types of income sources was multiplied by 2 and that with
three or more types was multiplied by 3. Then the sum was divided by 6 to get the average
economic diversity.
