This statistic shows the estimated population of Alberta, Canada from 2000 to 2023. In 2023, the estimated population of Alberta was about 4.7 million people. This is an increase from 2000, when there were about three million people living in Alberta.

This Alberta Official Statistic compares Alberta and Canada’s population growth rates between the 1986 and 2011 Censuses of Population. Population growth is the increase (or decrease) in the number of persons in the population between two points in time as a result of natural increase and net migration. It is expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of the time period. In between the last six censuses, the growth rate of Alberta’s population has always exceeded the national average except between1986 and 1991. The growth rate was 10.8% between the 2006 and 2011 censuses, almost double the national growth rate (5.9%) for the same period, and 10.6% between 2001 and 2006 compared to the national average of 5.4%.

Estimated number of persons on July 1, by 5-year age groups and gender, and median age, for Canada, provinces and territories.

This statistic shows the population of Alberta, Canada in 2023, by age and sex. In 2023, there were 373,457 females 65 years of age and over in Alberta.

These long-term population projections by single year of age and gender have been developed by applying the component cohort survival model to assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration, under three different sets of assumptions (i.e. low, medium and high scenarios) at the Alberta level. Includes estimated (2001-2023) and projected (2024-2051) population of Alberta and its sub-regions, by single year of age and gender, as well as selected summary tables.

This population estimates pyramid animates the changes in the age distribution of Alberta’s population.

This table contains 13 series, with data for years 1926 - 1960 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years), and was last released on 2000-02-18. This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (13 items: Canada; Newfoundland and Labrador; Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia ...).

Mid-year population estimates are available from the IHDA in for the years 1983 to 2015, by 1) various levels of geography including Alberta Health Services (AHS) Continuum Zones, former Health Regions, Peer Groups, Subzones, Health Status Areas, Aggregate Areas, Local Areas, and Provincial Electoral Districts, and Alberta level, 2) Age: Single year of age, 5-year age groups and combined ages, 3) Sex = Male, Female, and Both.

In 2048, the population in Manitoba is projected to reach about 1.84 million people. This is compared to a population of 1.46 million people in 2024.

Footnotes: 1 Population estimates based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2016 as delineated in the 2016 Census. 2 A census subdivision (CSD) is a municipality (as determined by provincial/territorial legislation) or an area treated as municipal equivalent for statistical purposes (e.g., Indian reserves, Indian settlements and unorganized territories). Municipal status is defined by laws in effect in each province and territory in Canada. Census subdivisions (CSDs) are classified into 53 types according to official designations adopted by provincial/territorial or federal authorities." 3 Postcensal estimates are based on the latest census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage (including adjustment for incompletely enumerated Indian reserves) and on the estimated population growth that occurred since that census, as calculated using fiscal data. Intercensal estimates are based on postcensal estimates and census counts adjusted of the censuses preceding and following the considered year. Population estimates for census subdivisions (CSDs) in Quebec are provided by l'Institut de la statistique du Québec" (ISQ). Population estimates for CSDs in Alberta are provided by Alberta’s Office of Statistics and Information (OSI) in current geography for July 1 2016 and after. They are converted to the appropriate standard geographical classification (SGC) using geographical relationships provided by the OSI. Due to this geographical difference small discrepancies may exist between CSD populations released by Statistics Canada for Alberta and those found directly on the OSI’s website. CSD population estimates for Alberta prior to July 14 Population estimates as of July 1 are final intercensal up to 2015, final postcensal for 2016 to 2019, updated postcensal for 2020 and preliminary postcensal for 2021. 5 In order to categorize CSDs by population size (5,000-plus; under 5,000), population estimates as of July 1, 2016 are used. Moreover, within each category, CSDs are presented in ascending order on the basis of their population as of July 1, 2016. 6 Population estimates by age and sex for census subdivisions are available upon request as a custom cost-recovery product by contacting the Centre for Demography client services mailbox (statcan.demography-demographie.statcan@statcan.gc.ca).

This Alberta Official Statistic compares the distribution of Alberta’s population by age and sex for two Census years (2006 and 2011). Age and sex are the most basic characteristics of a population. Every population has a different age and sex composition – the number and proportion of males and females in each age group. These characteristics are typically represented in a population pyramid.

This statistic shows the median age of the resident population of Canada, distinguished by province in 2023. In 2023, the median age of the Canadian population stood at 40.6 years.

Components of population change presented by calendar and census year. The components include births, deaths, international migration and interprovincial migration

Presents data on population projections by subzone at the following levels: geography: Alberta, Alberta Health Services (AHS) continuum zones, subzones, aggregate areas, and local areas; age: single year of age, 5-year age groups and combined ages; sex: male, female, and both. Historical population estimates (actuals) are included on the file for comparison/reference.
