Ottawa Population Expected to Increase by over 350,000 by 2036

Excerpt from Ontario Population Report Study Spring 2010

The population of Eastern Ontario is projected to grow 28.7 per cent over the projection period, from 1.71 million to 2.20 million.

Ottawa is projected to grow fastest (43.4 per cent) from 882,000 in 2009 to 1.27 million in 2036. The rest of Eastern Ontario will also grow, but below the provincial average, with Frontenac and Prescott & Russell growing fastest at 26.7 and 23.6 per cent respectively.

The census division of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry is projected to experience population decline over 2009–2036, with population falling 4,300 or 3.7 per cent as both natural increase and net migration trends are negative.
