Demography, Census Reports and Statistics

Demographic and census reports form a qualitative portrait of the people of Saskatchewan.

Demography

Population estimates are released on a quarterly basis by Statistics Canada's Demography Division. These estimates are Canada's official population figures. In addition to being an economic indicator, they have a variety of uses, such as the determination of federal transfer payments and electoral boundaries. Numerous sources, including the census, are used to produce the population estimates. Following each quarterly release by Statistics Canada, the Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics produces a report on changes in Saskatchewan's population and the sources of those changes.

Annual Reports and Statistics

Census

Every five years Statistics Canada conducts a national census. The census provides a detailed picture of the population's characteristics at a point in time. The results of the census are released in batches over the course of around two years. For each release of census data, the Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics prepares a report detailing relevant or interesting developments in Saskatchewan.

2021 Census of Population

The first release of findings from the 2021 Census is now available online. The data provide overall population and dwelling counts that are vital to understanding how population growth and international and internal migration patterns have changed the fabric of Canada's provinces and territories, as well as its cities, towns and rural areas.

View the 2021 Saskatchewan Census Population Report and the corresponding 2021 Census Population Analysis. Census information can also be accessed via the StatsCAN mobile app. It is available for download in the Apple and Google app stores.

2016 Census Reports

2016 Census Population and Dwelling Count Amendments

Following the release of population and dwelling counts, Statistics Canada sometimes amends the counts if an error is found in the data. Statistics Canada does not correct the census database or data products, but does publish population and dwelling count amendments, 2016 Census for affected census areas.
