they also mention that the middle class can disappear if their income stays the same and the average income of the upper class continues to climb, which in this case it has.

a growth in lower income areas doesn't always mean that more immigrants are moving into the area, but it certainly does contribute to a large degree.

Did you all notice how on the map, Central Toronto has increased in $$ household capital over the decades? Gentrification at its finest.

In Toronto's early years, the rich considered Forest Hill, Rosedale, etc. the outskirts of the city. The TTC/subway only used to reach up to Davisville/Eglinton until around the 70's. The trend is that the middle class get pushed outwards creating Urban sprawl, but eventually once their capital increases, they realize that it costs more to do the daily transit from the outskirts to the core where their businesses are and eventually move back towards the core.
