Is Burnaby, much less the Metrotown development, a reasonable thing to compare to Lynn Valley? Let's put that to test!
- DNV has a population of about 84,000. Burnaby approaches 225,000, or about 2 1/2 times as big.
- DNV covers 160 sq/km; Burnaby 90. About half as much space.
- How crowded? DNV has 525 people per sq/km; Burnaby nearly five times as many at 2400.
- DNV population grew by a paltry .3% between 2001 and 2005; Burnaby's by 4.6%. (that's 15 times as much growth!)
- Median earnings - DNV $33,426; Burnaby $25,377
- Family Size - DNV 3.1; Burnaby 2.9
- Percent of population who are immigrants: DNV 31%; Burnaby 50%
At a glance I'm prepared to say that it's pointless to compare Burnaby and the District of North Vancouver. They're entirely different, and the likelihood of DNV ever looking, feeling, or being like Burnaby approaches zero.
