This product provides information on Alberta Urban and Rural Population for every five years Census of Population conducted during 1976 to 2011. Total population by age-groups (0 to 14 years, 15 to 64 years, 65 years and over); Population of Urban Areas and Rural Areas, as a Percent of Total Population; and the Percent Change from previous Census Population; and the Median Age of Total Population are included.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the percent change in Alberta’s population between 1986 and 2011 by 5-year census cycles. The population is divided into "Larger Urban Centres" and Rural and Small Town areas. Within rural Alberta, the population is divided into four categories with each category consecutively representing lesser integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influenced Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration based on the percent of the working population commuting to urban centers. The categories are: Strong MIZ (where 30% or more of the workforce commutes to an urban core) Moderate MIZ (where 5% to 29% commute to any urban core) Weak MIZ (where greater than 0% but less than 5% commute to any urban core) No MIZ (where there are no residents commuting to an urban core)

The population is divided into larger urban centres and rural and small town areas. Within rural and small town Alberta, the population is divided into four categories according to integration with urban economies. The four categories are called Metropolitan Influence Zones (MIZ) and capture urban integration by measuring the percentage of the working population commuting to urban centers. The categories are: Strong MIZ (where 30% to 49% of the workforce commutes to an urban core) Moderate MIZ (where 5% to 29% commute to an urban core) Weak MIZ (where 1% to 4% commute to an urban core) No MIZ (where there are no residents commuting to an urban core)

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.
