Here are the numbers in a regional context:
HALIFAX - 431,701 (410, 075 in 2013, +21,626 in 4 years, 5,406/yr growth rate)
ST. JOHN'S - 219,207 (208,795 in 2013, +10,412 in 4 years, 2,603/yr growth rate)
MONCTON - 152,169 (144,529 in 2013, +7,640 in 4 years, 1,910/yr growth rate)
SAINT JOHN - 128,541 (127,827 in 2013, +714 in 4 years, 178/yr growth rate)
So, Moncton continues to grow at a rate of about 2,000 per year. It would be reasonable to expect the metro population for Moncton to be ~ 158,000 in 2020 and between 175-180,000 by 2030. Halifax by 2020 should be 447,000 by 2020 and about 500,000 by 2030.
