It will be interesting to see the 2011 census results for the peninsula. From 2001-2006 the single family dwelling type areas declined in population, not from abandonment but because families are getting smaller -- the number of people per unit has gone down tremendously since the 1950s. This is part of the reason why we need multi-unit buildings in these areas, just like Gladstone Ridge or the one on Windsor that everybody was up in arms about.

The downtown and "secondary" areas like Spring Garden, Cornwallis Park, and old North End grew (iirc). It seems like there would be relatively few school-aged children in these neighbourhoods, with the exception of the North End. I would expect few children in condos like the Martello building.

Is the yellow circle ("Holding School (Future Development)") an active public school now?
