Data tables (Excel) - population estimates, components of growth and population by age and sex.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

Contained within the 1st Edition (1906) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows two maps. The maps show the density of population per square mile for every township in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Alberta, circa 1901. The statistics from the 1901 census are used, yet the population of Saskatchewan and Alberta is shown as confined within the vicinity of the railways, this is because the railways have been brought up to date of publication, 1906. Cities and towns of 5000 inhabitants or more are shown as black dots. The size of the circle is proportionate to the population. The map uses eight classes, seven of which are shades of brown, more densely populated portions are shown in the darker tints. Numbers make it clear which class is being shown in any one township. Major railway systems are shown. The map also displays the rectangular survey system which records the land that is available to the public. This grid like system is divided into sections, townships, range, and meridian from mid-Manitoba to Alberta.

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

Presents data on population projections by local area, both sexes 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.

Presents data on population projections by peer group 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 product provides information on Population of Canada and Provinces on July 1 for a 15-year period. Five-year percent Change of 2014 over 2010; and the Percent Share of Canada's total population for the latest reference year 2014 is included.

This Alberta Official Statistic shows the proportion of population by mother tongue in the eight Alberta economic regions for the 2011 Census year. 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. Mother tongue refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the person on May 10, 2011. Non-official languages are languages other than English or French. According to the 2011 census, 77.8% of Albertans reported English as their mother tongue, followed by a non-official language (20.1%), and French (2.1%). The Red Deer economic region reported the highest proportion of Albertans with English as a mother tongue (89.7%) and the lowest proportion of Albertans with a non-official language as a mother tongue (8.9%), while Calgary reported the lowest proportion (73.4%) of Albertans with English as mother tongue and the highest proportion of Albertans with a non-official language as a mother tongue (24.9%).

This dataset presents information on the median age of the population, a measure used to describe the process of aging in the population, is the age at which half of the population is older, and half is younger.

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the proportion of population based on language spoken most often at home in each economic region as reported in the 2011 population 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).

This table provides statistics on Population by Alberta Health Services Geographic Zones. This table is an Excel version of a table in the "Alberta Health Care Insurance Statistical Supplement" report published annually by Alberta Health.
