PERCENTAGE OF URBAN RESIDENTS IN IMMIGRANT POPULATION 105
from the British Isles, with 64.88 p.c. urban, standing second only to the Asiatics in this
respect. That British immigration up to date has been directed in such large proportions
to our cities and towns is of marked significance.
In contrast with the Asiatics and also with those born in the British Isles, immigrants
from Europe are less urban than the population as a whole, while those from the United
States show a smaller proportion urban than the Europeans. In both cases the percentages
urban are considerably below that for the total population, and if comparisons be made
between immigrants from the British Isles, and from Europe and the United States, respectively,
there is a difference of between 19 and 22 p.c. in the proportions urban. Obviously,
Continental Europeans, as well as United States immigrants, include a larger proportion
of agriculturists, while among the British large numbers follow commercial, manufacturing
and professional pursuits.
Table 52 gives the percentages urban for the European born, by geographical grouping
of countries of birth. North Western Europeans are considerably less urban than those from
South, Eastern and Central Europe. The percentage urban in the former case is 34.50,
while for the latter group it is 50:12. These figures suggest a very real difference between
the people who come from these two sections of the continent, and because of the differing
conditions of life in urban and rural districts, it is only to be expected that such a marked
difference’ in territorial distribution would be reflected in the type and extent of the adjustments
which the foreign born have made and are making to their new Canadian home.
