    Population growth (in percent)

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the region's average population growth annually.

    Why we collect it

    Municipalities rely heavily on population projections to ensure adequate service levels in areas such as health and social services. Monitoring this indicator will allow us to effectively track population growth to deliver more efficient services to County residents.
