I just did a calculation of the theoretical metropolitan population of both Red Deer and Lethbridge.


Included in the Red Deer area are:
(populations are approximate)

The City of Red Deer: 97 000
The City of Lacombe: 13 000 (25 km from Red Deer City Hall)
The City of Sylvan Lake: 13 000 (25 km from Red Deer)
The Town of Innisfail: 8 000 (31 km from Red Deer)
The Town of Blackfalds: 8 000 (14 km from Red Deer)
The Town of Penhold: 2 500 (16 km from Red Deer)
The Town of Eckville: 1 200 (45 km from Red Deer)

Total population: 142 000

This number does not include the thousands of rural people in the region, and the thousands of people living in suburbs located just outside of the border of Red Deer city limits.





Included in the Lethbridge area are:
(populations are approximate)

The City of Lethbridge: 91 000
The Town of Coaldale: 8 000 (18 km from Lethbridge City Hall)
The Town of Fort Macleod: 3 200 (49 km from Lethbridge)
The Town of Magrath: 2 400 (37 km from Lethbridge)
The Town of Coalhurst: 2 300 (11 km from Lethbridge)
The Town of Picture Butte: 1 700 (29 km from Lethbridge)
The Village of Stirling: 1 100 (35 km from Lethbridge)
The Village of Nobleford: 1 000 (34 km from Lethbridge)
The Hamlet of Diamond City: 200 (16 km from Lethbridge)

Total population: 111 000
