Ward 1 Introduction

What is the Census?

Every five years, Statistics Canada conducts a Census providing a detailed account of the Canadian population. The Census is intended to provide a snapshot of demographic, social and economic conditions at a precise moment in time.

Why is it important?

The Census is a very important data source as it allows for a detailed analysis of the population and can be used to discover emerging trends within Richmond Hill. It helps us understand how we have changed over the years.

What will this profile tell me about my community?

This Demographic Profile provides information on population and age characteristics, population density, dwelling types, ethnic origin, mother tongue, immigration trends, education, employment rates, occupation types, income distribution, place of work, and mobility using 2016 Census information.

City-wide information is based on the 2016 Census and other data sources available. You may view all of these online at www.richmondhill.ca/demographics.
