What makes Niagara Falls unique?
Niagara Falls has a high percentage of single parent families and is largely a medium- to low-SES community. The poorest neighbourhoods are located in the central and southern areas of the community. Despite having many areas of low socio-economic status, Niagara Falls has strong neighbourhoods, with high levels of stability and social support. Parents considered their neighbourhoods to be clean and safe, offering quality schools and nurseries, and a range of facilities for young children. These factors likely contribute to Niagara Falls’s success on the markers of cognitive development and communication skills.
