About the Data:

These population projections were prepared in January 2011.  Users should note changes in all scenarios compared to the previous projections produced in April 2010 to reflect the most recent data released by Statistics Canada at the time of publication.  Users should note that the current online population estimates can differ from the latest data published by Statistics Canada due to recent data revisions.  Users should note that while the precise numbers online may vary from recent Statistics Canada data, the trends displayed in the projections are still considered valid.  The next population projections update is scheduled for mid-2011.

Users who wish to access the latest Statistics Canada official population estimates should visit the Newfoundland & Labrador Statistics Agency Newfoundland & Labrador Statistics Agency site.

Data for the entire province from 1986 to 2010 and the St. John's Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) from 1996 to 2010 are the official population estimates available from Statistics Canada at the time of publishing (January 2011). All other estimates and geographical breakdowns were prepared by the Economic Research and Analysis Division.
