Demography and Related Population Characteristics: What Makes Alberta
Different?
• Migration: Extensive Interprovincial In-Migration(Recall presentation by Prof. Hiller)
• Rapid Growth & Boom/Bust Pattern(total province & certain communities)
• Youthfulness: Median age (low) & Fertility (high)
Alberta’s Youthfulness: Median Age
Alberta has the youngest median age (35.0 years in 2001) of any of the provinces and is 2.6 years below the median for all of Canada.
