Windsor has a population of 229,660, but the reality is high poverty and heavy reliance on the struggling automotive industry. With the fourth-highest proportion of foreign-born residents in Canada, the city is culturally diverse, yet bureaucracy is a persistent headache. Frequent flooding and a tornado-prone climate add further challenges. While Windsor has low violent crime, its manufacturing base has left many residents struggling - over a third of children in certain districts live below the poverty line. This rust-belt city may not be the ideal destination for those seeking economic opportunity or stability.
