Basically these are the GDP per capita

Calgary ~$56,000
Edmonton ~$47,000
Toronto ~$44,000
Ottawa ~$41,000
Vancouver ~$38,000

I had thought Edmonton's was larger than Calgary's, though these numbers can change quite quickly.

I imagine the reason for the large difference between the GDP per capita of Canadian and American cities yet smaller gap between the GDP per capita of the two countries is due to the fact that a large portion of Canada's GDP is represented by mining and energy not located in cities. A much larger portion of the American economy is made up of financial services, banks, and corporations located in the major urban centres.

If you look at the GDP per capita of American states vs. Canadian provinces it shows a much different picture. The Northwest Territories actually has the highest GDP per capita of any subdivision (province, state, etc) in the world apart from Washington D.C. Although this is obviously skewed because of the amount of wealth generated by the diamond mines compared to the small population. Alberta has a higher GDP per capita than all of states but delaware and D.C.

The Wealth is not shared equally in the territories. You don't see to many Natives driving Ferraris.

All that wealth is going to the top, and being transferred to the mining companies based in Toronto and Vancouver.

Calgary's GDP (although for cities I think GMP is a better term

) is $69.25B according to Calgary Economic Development

caltrane74 · #50 Posted: **Nov 22, 2011, 2:22 AM**

If you exclude the 905 Toronto GDP per capita is $95,000

Probably higher because I used 2.7 million people as my base.

253 billion dollars for 2.7 million living inside the City of Toronto.

If you take 323 billion and divide by 7.5 million in the GTA

You get 45,000 dollars per person

GDP numbers from 2008 here:

Caltrane: How are you defining GTA? You may well be correct, but the 7.5 million population figure seems high to me.

caltrane74 · #52 Posted: **Nov 22, 2011, 1:20 PM**

GTA = Golden Horseshoe

Gave it the large area because Monkeyronin's 323 billion number does not give a defined geographic boundary for the Toronto Area. But $45,000 per head seems right on the mark for the GTA number.

416 + 905 = 7.5 million people

Using wikipedia's definition of the GTA at 6 million, Toronto's per capita GDP number would rise to $55,000.

That's not the GDP the city of St. John's has on their report, as well it would not be what the Conference Board would have had for St. John's a few years back.

There's is Real GDP (2002$M), so would that make it different?

To be fair for Philly it is important to remember that more then 50% of its office space is outside of the city and most people work in the suburbs. The wealth of the Philly Metro is displayed on the main line.

This tells me there is a huge wealth disparity in the US. The guys at the top get all the money, the ones at the bottom and the middle get nothing.

Canada is much more fair, and we also have a more free and open economy than the united states. Which is turning into Russia, basically.
