A little history

Vancouver is a major city in Western Canada, in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. The 2021 Canadian census recorded 662,248 people in the city, up from 631,486 in 2016. Greater Vancouver, together with the Fraser Valley, makes up the Lower Mainland.

Notable neighborhoods in Vancouver include:

Kitsilano and West End. Kitsilano is named after Squamish chief August Jack Khatsahlano. It lies along the southern shore of English Bay between Fairview and West Point Grey, and its two main commercial areas are West 4th Avenue and West Broadway. The West End sits between Coal Harbour and the central business districts of Downtown Vancouver, with Stanley Park to the northwest and English Bay to the west.

Marpole and Mount Pleasant. Marpole is a mostly residential neighborhood on the southern edge of the city, immediately northeast of Vancouver International Airport. It changed through the 20th century with development tied to the construction of the Oak Street Bridge and the Arthur Laing Bridge. Mount Pleasant stretches from Cambie Street to Clark Drive and includes the area around the Main Street and Broadway intersection.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: Burrard. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.
