Saskatchewan's young cities
Saskatchewan’s two largest cities were the fastest growing and youngest cities among census metropolitan areas (CMAs) between July 1, 2011 and July 1, 2012, according to a report recently released by Statistics Canada.
Saskatoon secured top spot for growth for the third year in a row, jumping by a rate of 40.4 persons per thousand of population.
This was the strongest annual growth rate of any CMA in 15 years.
Saskatoon was also the youngest city among CMAs, with a median age of 34.9 years.
Regina landed in a close second for both population growth and age among CMAs, with a growth rate of 31.5 persons per thousand of population and a median age of 36.0 years.
Regina’s median age tied Calgary for second place and was well below the Canadian average of 40.0 years.
