Notes:

The KPU region includes: Delta, Langley, McMillan Island Indian Reserve, Richmond, Semiahmoo Indian Reserve, Surrey, Tsawwassen Indian Reserve, and White Rock.

Census Subdivision is the general term for municipalities (as determined by provincial/ territorial legislation) or areas treated as municipal equivalents for statistical purposes.

By Region Between Census 2006 and Census 2011 the total population in British Columbia increased by 7% to reach 4.4 million.

The GVRD region grew 9% to reach a population of 2.3 million.

The population of the KPU region increased at a much higher rate (13%) during the same time period to reach 908,080 residents.

Exhibit 1 shows that the KPU region accounts for 21% of BC’s total population in 2011.

In 2006, the KPU region accounted for 20% of BC’s total population.

Other Census Subdivisions have between 9%-17% of their population with a mother tongue in a language other than English or French. Notably, Richmond is the only Census Subdivision where the top three mother tongues originate from the same geographic area (East Asia - China). See Exhibit 6 for additional details.

3 Single responses. In BC, 98% of residents first learned a single

language, and 97% of GVRD residents and KPU region residents first learned a single language in childhood. 4 Notes: 1. Single responses. 2. There are no reported residents

with a mother tongue in a language other than English or French for McMillan Island and Semiahmoo Indian Reserves.

Notes:

A Forward Sortation Area (FSA) is a smaller geographic area than a Census Subdivision which provides the reader of this report with more detailed information regarding areas of interest. While a FSA is a smaller geographic area than a Census Subdivision, it is important to note that FSAs are not a sub geographic area of a Census Subdivision. Thus, a FSA may fall into more than one Census Subdivision.

The first three characters of a postal code comprises a FSA. FSAs are associated with a postal facility from which mail delivery originates. Canada Post describes a FSA as “the general area where the mail is going”. See Appendix B for a map of FSAs in the Greater Vancouver region.

FSA data for McMillan Island Indian Reserve, Pitt Meadows, Semiahmoo Indian Reserve, Tsawassen Indian Reserve, and White Rock are not included in this section as each area only has one corresponding FSA5.

DELTA The following six FSAs belong to Canada Post’s urban DELTA delivery area: V4C, V4E, V4G, V4K, V4L, and V4M. See Exhibit 7 for total population, age and language information for Delta FSAs and the Delta Census Subdivision. Notable differences (for example +/- 5%) between the Delta Census Subdivision and a FSA are shaded. Exhibit 7: Population, Age and Language Information by Delta Urban FSAs and Census Subdivision

Source: Statistics Canada, 2011 Census. Note: Mother tongue – single responses.

5 For White Rock, there are three urban FSAs that correspond to Canada Post’s White Rock urban delivery area. However, only one FSA (V4B)

closely matches the White Rock Census Subdivision area data, thus the FSA data for White Rock is also not included in this section.
