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).

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%.

A population projection is a forecast of future population growth. Future population growth for Alberta is projected under three different growth scenarios: the medium, or reference, scenario and high- and low-growth scenarios. Projections of each component of population growth (fertility, mortality and migration) are developed based on past trends, modified to account for possible future patterns of change. This package contains the full report of population projections for Alberta and its 132 local geographic areas for the period 2024 to 2051, as well as a highlights fact sheet and a methodology and assumptions document.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the growth of Alberta’s population by Economic Regions between the 2006 Census and the 2011 Census. Alberta is divided into eight economic regions as follows: Lethbridge – Medicine Hat; Camrose-Drumheller; Calgary; Banff – Jasper – Rocky Mountain House; Red Deer; Edmonton; Athabasca – Grande Prairie – Peace River; and Wood Buffalo – Cold Lake.

These long-term population projections by single year of age and sex 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). Includes estimated (1996-2019) and projected (2020-2046) population of Alberta and its 19 Census Divisions, by single year of age and sex, as well as selected summary tables.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Alberta, MN population pyramid, which represents the Alberta population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Alberta, MN, is 15.2.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Alberta, MN, is 71.7.
• Total dependency ratio for Alberta, MN is 87.0.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Alberta, MN is 1.4.

These long-term population projections by single year of age and sex have been developed by applying the component cohort survival model to assumptions about future trends in fertility, mortality and migration. Age and sex are presented as percentages of the total population for the periods 1996–2018 (estimated) and 2019–2046 (projected). These visualizations use the low scenario assumption.

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).
