About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Alberta population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Alberta across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Alberta was 296, a 0.34% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Alberta population was 297, a decline of 1.66% compared to a population of 302 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Alberta decreased by 11. In this period, the peak population was 307 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Alberta population distribution across 18 age groups. It lists the population in each age group along with the percentage population relative of the total population for Alberta. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Alberta by age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group in Alberta.

Key observations

The largest age group in Alberta, VA was for the group of age 65 to 69 years years with a population of 40 (16.06%), according to the ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. At the same time, the smallest age group in Alberta, VA was the 10 to 14 years years with a population of 4 (1.61%).

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. PLEASE NOTE updated projections for 2025-2051 are now available. See the Related tab above for a link to the updated projections.

Estimated number of persons by quarter of a year and by year, Canada, provinces and territories.

This statistic shows the population distribution of Alberta in 2016, by urban/rural type. In 2016, 12.2 percent of Alberta's population lived in medium sized population centers.

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%.

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.

From 1913 to 2019, Municipal Affairs produced the Municipal Affairs Population List that contained population counts for Alberta municipalities, Metis Settlements, and First Nations communities based on the most recent municipal or federal census. In 2020, the Municipal Affairs Population List was discontinued following the repeal of the Determination of Population Regulation. With the approval of the new Municipal Census Regulation in 2023, Municipal Affairs resumed the publication of the Municipal Affairs Population List.
