市中心东端狭义上的边界

温哥华市中心东端(英语:Downtown Eastside,缩写DTES)是加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华市历史最悠久的社区之一。市中心东端狭义上可指布勒内湾缅街喜士定街和卡勒街所包围之地带,亦即市政府划分市内近邻社区时所定下的边界[1];广义上市中心东端则可涵盖华埠煤气镇奥本海默公园英语Oppenheimer Park(前日本城所在)、士达孔拿、桑顿公园和胜利广场,以及以北沿岸的轻工业地带[2]

此处于温哥华开埠时曾经是市中心所在,而喜士定街夹歌杜华街更曾经是温哥华的主要购物区,[3][4][5][6]但商业活动逐渐往西移,而二战后更陆续出现都市衰退现象。现时该区饱受毒品交易、娼妓和治安等问题困扰,[7]更有称“全加拿大最贫困的邮区”[8]。该区有Insite毒品安全注射中心处理药物过量及毒品问题。该区房舍也随处可见其他地区少见的铁窗。1980至2000年代该区也发生了多宗妇女失踪案,其后罗伯特·皮克顿被控以当中六项二级谋杀罪名成立[9][10]。如何整顿该区成为温哥华市政府以至省政府和联邦政府近年来的棘手挑战。

人口

据2001年人口普查所示,市中心东端的广义覆盖范围内有16,590名居民,当中有23%为来自中国大陆的移民,5%来自越南,2%来自香港,14%来自其他国家。[2]普查数据显示区内10%居民为加拿大原住民,但《环球邮报》的报道则指出区内原住民人口达14%。[7]每户平均有1.3名居民,而82%居民为独居者。幼童(5岁以下)和年青人(5-19岁)分别占区内人口2%和8%,只达全市平均的一半。[2]

区内有67%居民符合低收入人士的定义,远高于全市平均的27%。受区内单身户数目的影响,区内的每户入息中位数为$12,084,只及全市中位数的30%。另外,区内完全依靠政府援助度日的居民达40%(全市平均为10%)。[2]
