Rural and Small Town Canada: An Overview
Demography: Population Structure
• 31.4 percent of Canada’s population lives in predominantly rural regions (in 1996)
• “predominantly rural regions” have over 50 percent of their population living in rural communities (A rural community is a census consolidated subdivision with less than 150 persons per square kilometer. Census divisions are used to delineate “regions”, to facilitate comparisons with other OECD countries.)

Rural and Small Town Canada: An Overview
Demography: Population Growth
• At the Canada level, the rural and small town population is increasing.
• In Newfoundland and Saskatchewan, the rural and small town population has been decreasing for decades.
• In the other provinces, the rural and small town population is increasing only in areas where individuals can commute to cities or where individuals wish to retire.
