Population growth is another way to measure a city's growth.

🇨🇦 Here are the top five cities in Canada that have seen the fastest population increase between 2016 and 2021 👇

1. Toronto: + 274,185 residents between 2016 and 2021

Completing the top 5 fastest-growing metros in Canada by population growth, we have:

4. Ottawa-Gatineau: + 116,731 residents
5. Edmonton: + 96,677 residents

These three maps highlight the varying levels of sprawl found across the fastest-growing Canadian cities.

Surprised by the findings?
