Chart of the Week: Youth flock to Alberta
Alberta continues to attract people from other provinces, particularly from B.C. and Ontario.
What age groups are coming? The short answer is everybody—the young and the old. Indeed, Alberta gained more people than it lost across every age group last year.
However, the age distribution is highly concentrated among youth. As our Chart of the Week shows, Alberta added more people (by a long shot) than any other province in both the 15-19 and 20-24 age categories last year.
This has increased demand for housing, resulted in rapid labour force entry, and will help keep Alberta younger than other provinces.
