About this data
How to read this measureUse caution when comparing years: the source says geographic areas change every five years to follow census definitions, so these data are not strictly comparable historically.
Data shown through 2022Table updated
These are the selections used for this answer. The full Statistics Canada table (opens in a new tab) (34-10-0126-01) contains other measures and breakdowns.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Absolute change is the last source value minus the first; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
