Here's the trick to finding the most treats in Windsor

If you're looking to take your kids to the best spot to get Halloween candy you may want to think about the neighbourhoods between downtown Windsor and Walkerville.

CensusMapper team examines neighbourhood density for trick-or-treat aged children

If you're looking to take your kids to the best spot to get Halloween candy, you may want to think about the neighbourhoods between downtown Windsor and Walkerville. 

That's part of the city with some of the highest percentage of homes with children between 5 and 14 years old, according to a Canada-wide census mapping project by a team of B.C-based software developers.

Statistics Canada lists those ages as "prime trick-or-treating ages."

In the Trick-Or-Treat Density Estimator, Jens von Bergmann's CensusMapper looks at the areas with the most trick-or-treat-aged children.

The number of homes in a census tract with children living in them is divided by the number of private dwellings. Darker areas represent areas where more children live. 

Residents in those neighbourhoods may be primed to give out candy, meaning you won't need to worry about dark homes — or streets — for your children.
