Since the 2009 Community Well-Being Report, Windsor-
Essex County has endured a number of significant
challenges. Our region has a declining population
and a changing demographic makeup. Our economy
is weak, and still heavily reliant on a single sector for
growth. Our people are generally healthy but lag behind
provincial averages in certain categories like obesity. Our
communities have lower levels of educational attainment
and students graduating without the skills needed for the
jobs that are available locally. We have a citizenry that
has a strong sense of belonging yet is failing to engage
in the electoral process, and crime rates which, despite
improvement in Windsor, still rank higher than provincial
averages in many areas.
