How do you define diversity?
Los Angeles has about the same foreign-born percentage as Toronto, but most of them come from the same place (Mexico). Does this mean LA is more or less diverse than Toronto?
There are 3 cities in the USA larger than Toronto[2] : Chicago, Los Angeles and New York City. All of them have a lower foreign-born %. Two cities in the USA have a larger foreign-born percentage: Miami and Santa Ana.
[2] yet another fact that I doublt most non-Canadians know. =)
