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.

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.

Estimated number of persons by quarter of a year and by year, 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.

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%.

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.

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.

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 ...).

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

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.

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 (1996-2018) and projected (2019-2046) population of Alberta and its 19 Census Divisions, by single year of age and sex, as well as selected summary tables.

Presents data on population projections by aggregate areas 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.

This Alberta Official Statistic presents the annual population estimates for Alberta. These data are used to inform policy and planning decisions, budgetary decisions, and federal transfer payments. These data are also used as a base for additional information such as population projections and regional estimates.

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

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 number of deaths in Alberta, Canada from 2000 to 2023. Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, a total of 32,931 people died in Alberta.

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.

This statistic shows the percentage of the population in Alberta in low income from 2000 to 2021 according to low income measures (LIMs). 8.9 percent of the population of Alberta was considered to be in low income in 2021.

Figure 2.1 profiles the population distribution by age group for both the local geographic area and Alberta, as at March 31 of the most recent fiscal year available. This table is part of "Alberta Health Primary Health Care - Community Profiles" report published August 2022.
