About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Little Canada by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Little Canada. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Little Canada by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Little Canada. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Little Canada.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows three condensed maps of the percentage of population: under 20 years of age, 20-64 years of age, and over 64 years of age illustrated by the census division, circa 1951. Each of these maps is accompanied by a pie chart showing the percentage distribution by province and territory. The two remaining maps show urban and rural sex ratios using the number of males to 100 females by census division as of 1951. The rural sex ratio map is accompanied by a chart showing the ratio of males to 100 females by province and territory. As well, a chart accompanies the urban sex ratio map and shows the ratio of males to 100 females for chief urban centers. A set of age-sex pyramids that show the 1951 percentage distribution of males and females by quinquennial age groups for Canada, each province and the territories are also included.

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

In 2023, there were about 5.81 million males and 5.56 million females between the ages of 25 and 44 living in Canada, which was the most out of any age group. The next largest age group was between the ages of 45 and 64, with 5.01 million males and 5.11 million females.

Canadian demographics

The average age of the Canadian resident population was about 40.6 years in 2023, with Newfoundland and Labrador having the oldest average population, and Nunavut having the youngest average population. Additionally, the majority of Canadians in 2022, both males and females, are single. The next largest group of Canadians are married, and not separated.

Immigration to Canada

Much like the United States, Canada is an immigrant nation, and many of its residents have immigrant backgrounds. Additionally, immigration to Canada has been steadily increasing since 2000, making the country a diverse melting pot for people of all backgrounds.

As of July 1, 2022, there were approximately 13.87 million males and 14.13 million females living in metropolitan areas across Canada. This statistic breaks down this figure by metropolitan area. Toronto was the most populated city in the country, counting over 3.2 million males and 3.4 million females.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes Sex Ratio, Total Dependency Ratio, and Aging Index for Alberta and Canada for two census periods, 2006 and 2011. The sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a given population, usually expressed as the number of males for every 100 females. The sex ratio at birth in most countries is about 105 or 106 males per 100 females. After birth, sex ratios vary because of different patterns of mortality and migration for males and females within the population. Dependency ratio (age dependency ratio) is the ratio of persons in the "dependent" ages (generally under age 15 and over age 64) to those in the "economically productive" ages (15 - 64 years) in a population. The age-dependency ratio is sometimes divided into old-age dependency (the ratio of people ages 65 and older to those ages 15-64) and child-dependency (the ratio of people under age 15 to those ages 15-64) ratios. The sum of these two is the Total (age) dependency ratio. This ratio is often used as an indicator of the economic burden the productive portion of a population must carry - even though some persons defined as "dependent" are producers and some persons in the "productive" ages are economically dependent. Countries with very high birth rates usually have higher dependency ratios because of the large proportion of children in the population. The Aging Index is the ratio of persons aged 65 years and over to every 100 persons under age 15 years. It is a measure of aging of a population. The aging index shows that Alberta’s population is younger than that of Canada.

In 2006, Canada’s population consisted of 49% males (15.5 million) and 51% females (16.1 million), a sex ratio of 96 males per hundred females. Females outnumbered males in every province except for Alberta and the three territories. Alberta had the most balanced sex ratio, with almost half male and half female. The map shows the sex distribution by census subdivision.

This statistic shows the male and female resident population of Canada from 2000 to 2023. In 2023, about 20.08 million women were living in Canada.

Values derived from reference [65] for the condition where (C = 0.5) and assuming the change in the environmental factor (whatever this is) has been steadily increasing (i.e., linear) over the time-interval (sd = standard deviation). The estimates for the parameters a and b trend downward in the more recent time-intervals because the definition of a unit of environmental change (see Table 2) becomes smaller with more recent observation periods. The other estimates are unaffected by this circumstance (see Equations 14, 17, and 21).*Values for the maximum value that C could take (see text); extrapolated backward to the (1941–1945) time-period for comparison.
