In some cities the estimates are 4% higher than the census totals, and in other cases the estimates are actually lower than the census totals.
Halifax's 2011 estimate is 408,200 and its 2011 census population count was 390,328 (~4% lower).
For St. John's the 2011 estimate is 196,200 and the 2011 census population count was slightly higher at 196,966. |
A few interesting notes with the 2011 numbers:
Halifax jumped St. Catherines to take 12th place and Winnipeg jumped past Quebec for 7th. It's also a tight race for 10th place in the race to 500,000 between Kitchener and London. Calgary is now bigger than Ottawa too.
If you include Hamilton and Kitchener as part of the Greater Toronto Area than it really puts Halifax as the 10th largest Metropolitan area on its own in Canada.
1 Toronto 5,838,800
2 Montreal 3,908,700

6 Edmonton 1,196,300

9 Hamilton 750,200
10 Kitchener–Cambridge–Waterloo 498,500
