Insights

Key Takeaways

Canada’s population density remained consistently low, rising slightly from 3 people per square kilometer in 1990 to 4 by 2021. This stability reflects Canada's vast land area compared to its relatively small population. Despite urban growth in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, Canada’s overall density remains among the lowest globally due to its expansive rural and uninhabited northern regions.
