## How to read this measure

Estimates are final intercensal up to 2020, final postcensal for 2021, updated postcensal for 2022, 2023 and 2024, and preliminary postcensal for 2025. Northwest Territories and Nunavut estimates are separate from 1991; earlier figures combine them.

## How this answer was calculated

The 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.
