Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I'd like to hear some opinions on this. I just estimated Calgary's 2014 CMA population at 1 425 000, up 60 000 from last year's 1 365 000.
I made such a seemingly high estimate because, as most of you know, Calgary recorded record growth this past year. Based on the fact that we also registered record growth last year in the city, and with a CMA growth of 57 000 (according to StatCan estimates), I thought 60 000 for this year would be apt.
However, last year Airdrie didn't show record growth, but this year they did... so perhaps my estimate is actually a couple thousand short? Anyone with more statistical knowledge/analytical powers wanna help me with this? Could StatCan's estimate of 57 000 for last year have been way off the mark (too high)?
