In a very broad sense it's true, but there's still plenty of wealth in the inner suburbs and poverty in the inner city. If I remember correctly, the city's wealthiest census tract is in the Bridle Path, while the poorest is in Regent Park.

A quick image search shows that most other major North American cities seem to be similar - either with a "favoured quarter" or a mish-mash of income levels. It generally seems to be true that the centre-most and outer-most areas are the wealthier than outer-city and inner-suburban ones, but (obviously) it's not so simple.
