If Toronto had Montreal or Vancouver type pattern, you'd basically have west of Yonge be the more affluent side and east of Yonge be the workingmans' side of town and home to the bulk of industry. Toronto didn't develop that way.
It sort of had three sectors - north, east and west - with the Yonge Corridor and North Toronto being the favored area. The west and east were both mostly working class with some more middle class pockets like the Beaches and High Park.
Most of the wealthiest census tracts are in this favored quarter. But it kind of breaks down after that.
The 905 is for the most part pretty middling, with Oakville being affluent and Brampton/Malton being more working class.
