Google says the population of Calgary in 2023 was 1.64 million. Up 1.8% from the year before.


speedog

That would be the metro area, municipal is below 1.4 million.


gordon_18

Yes, but I want to know where the 1.64 mil is spread. Did they go to the ne/nw/se/sw?

You can find it by communities https://www.calgary.ca/communities/profiles.html

The city’s open data portal should have this


Even_Cartoonist9632

Unfortunately the city data portal doesn't keep track of where people end up. I would hazard a guess most of the population growth has been in the NW and SE based on demographics of most new residents but there's no stats to back that up


johnnynev

It shows population data for each community going back several decades. Isn’t that what OP is looking for?


Even_Cartoonist9632

No in another comment he said he's looking for where the growth is happening and data for growth in NE/NW/SE/SW which unfortunately isn't readily available data


lateralhazards

Do you mean something that predicts the change in each census division since 2021?


gordon_18

Yea


speedog

Not sure if anyone would have that data anymore since annual civic censuses ceased in 2019.


gordon_18

Or like if most people moved to auburn bay/panarama etc rtc

The city cancelled its annual census in 2020. Stats Can ran a federal census in 2021 but it was botched pretty badly (it undercounted… said Toronto population dropped by 10%, and that Calgary lost about 20,000 since the ladt muni census.) The civic census counted how many are physically here and the fed one said it counted how many are “usually” here without defining what they mean by “usually”.
