Most youth age 12–19 (78.5%) in Middlesex-London reported having a “very strong” or “somewhat strong” sense of community belonging in 2015/16. This is higher in comparison to the general population age 12 and older where 71.5% reported having a “very strong” or “somewhat strong” sense of community belonging (Figure 3.1.8). On the other hand, Figure 13.1.1 also shows that over one in five (21.5%) youth age 12–19 in Middlesex-London reported having a “very weak” or “somewhat weak” sense of community belonging in 2015/16; although the estimate should be interpreted with caution due to high variability.
