- Lord Roberts (electoral district)
Lord Roberts is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba, located in the south-central section of the City of Winnipeg. It was created by redistribution in 1999, and consists primarily of territory taken from the now-defunct ridings of Osborne and Crescentwood.
Lord Roberts is bordered to the south by Fort Garry and St. Vital, to the west by River Heights, to the north by Fort Rouge and St. Boniface and to the east by St. Vital.
Lord Roberts' population in 1996 was 20,469. The average family income in 1999 was $44,963, with an unemployment rate of 7.70%. Thirty-one per cent of the riding's residents are listed as low income. Over 47% of the riding's dwelling houses in 1999 were rental units, and over 20% of the riding's families are single-parent.
Over 19% of the riding's population is above 65 years of age. Fourteen per cent of the riding's residents are immigrants, including 5% German and 4% Ukrainian. Four per cent of the riding's residents are Jewish.
The service sector accounts for 19% of Lord Roberts's industry, followed by 13% in health and social services.
The riding has been held by the NDP since its creation, and is generally considered safe for the party. Its current MLA is Diane McGifford, who was re-elected in 2003 with over 60% of the riding's vote.
