Just imagine the stats if Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek and the Mountain were factored out.

Then it wouldn't be Hamilton.

It would be the lower city, where most the region's economic troubles are concentrated. Hamilton is very polarized, it suffers from the American-style donut effect more than any other city in Canada, exacerbated by the fact that Burlington is a separate municipality. Every part of the Hamilton CMA is above average economically except the lower city, which is very poor.
