2 TOTAL POPULATION The KPU region includes: Delta, Langley, McMillan Island Reserve, Richmond, Semiahmoo Reserve, Surrey, Tsawwassen 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. 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 In 2006, the KPU region accounted for 20% of BC s total population. By Select Census Subdivisions 1 Surrey posted the highest population (around 468,000) and the highest growth rate over 2006 (+19%). Richmond had the second-highest population (about 190,000) with a growth rate of 9% over Also notable, Pitt Meadows, Langley District Municipality (DM), and Maple Ridge posted double-digit growth rates in 2011 to reach populations of about 18,000, 104,000, and 76,000 respectively. McMillan Island Reserve, Langley City, Delta and White Rock s population increased by 8%, 6%, 3% and 3% (respectively) over 2006 to reach populations of approximately 68, 25,000, 100,000 and 19,000. Tsawwassen and Semiahmoo Reserves posted a decline of 6% and 1% to reach populations of 720 and 108, respectively.

3 POPULATION TRENDS BY AGE The KPU region includes: Delta, Langley, McMillan Island Reserve, Richmond, Semiahmoo Reserve, Surrey, Tsawwassen 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. KPU region s population skews younger while the province of BC s population and the GVRD region s population skews older. 31% of KPU region s population is under 25 (compared to 28% of BC s population and 29% of the GVRD s population). 29% of BC s population is 55 or older (compared to 26% of KPU region s population). See Exhibit 3 for additional details.

Census Subdivisions with the highest increase in median age were: Semiahmoo Reserve (7.6 years), McMillan Island Reserve (7 years) and White Rock (2.5 years). See Exhibit 4 for additional details.

4 POPULATION TRENDS BY LANGUAGE The KPU region includes: Delta, Langley, McMillan Island Reserve, Richmond, Semiahmoo Reserve, Surrey, Tsawwassen 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. Mother tongue refers to the first language learned at home in childhood and still understood by the person at the time the data was collected. For other Census Subdivisions, between 1.2% and 1.6% of the population had no knowledge of English. See Exhibit 5 for additional details. Exhibit 5: Proportion of Population with No Knowledge of English, % 6.4% 10.4% 1.2% 1.6% 3.1% 1.4% 0.8% 0.7% 0.0% 0.0% NO KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH In 2011, 3.4% of British Columbians had no knowledge of English. 5.7% of GVRD Region residents had no knowledge of English. 6.0% of KPU Region residents had no knowledge of English. By Select Census Subdivisions In 2011, one in ten residents (10.4%) in Richmond did not have knowledge of English. The proportion of the population with no knowledge of English is also high in Surrey (6.4% have no knowledge of English). Maple Ridge, Tsawwassen Reserve, and White Rock had the lowest proportions of the population with no knowledge of English (less than 1%). 2 2 There are no reported residents in McMillan Island and Semiahmoo Reserves who do not have knowledge of English. 4

5 MOTHER TONGUE 3 (Languages other than English and French) In 2011, 27% of British Columbians first learned a language other than English or French during their childhood and are still able to understand the language at the time of the 2011 census (referred to as mother tongue). 41% of GVRD Region residents mother tongue is a language other than English or French. 42% of KPU Region residents mother tongue is a language other than English or French. By Select Census Subdivisions 4 Richmond, Surrey and Delta have the largest proportion of residents that have a mother tongue in a language other than English or French (62%, 46% and 27% respectively). 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. Exhibit 6: Proportion of Population with Mother Tongue in Non-official Language and Top Three Mother Tongues % mother tongue other than English/French Top 3 mother tongues (population) Delta 27% Punjabi (10.590) Mandarin (1,645) German (1,605) Langley City 14% German (375) Langley DM Spanish (315) Sino-Tibetan (295) 15% Korean (2,430) German (1,905) Punjabi (1,610) Maple Ridge 13% German (915) Punjabi (740) Korean (710) Pitt Meadows 17% Punjabi (470) Tagalog (280) Spanish (225) Richmond 62% Cantonese (30,170) Other Chinese dialect (24,670) Mandarin (20,680) Surrey 46% Punjabi (93,785) Tagalog (13,740) Hindi (12,235) Tsawassen 9% Cantonese (10) Reserve Croatian (10) Dutch (10) German (10) White Rock 16% German (515) Mandarin (250) Korean (195) 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 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 Reserves. 5

6 DATA BY FORWARD SORTATION AREA (FSA) 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 Reserve, Pitt Meadows, Semiahmoo Reserve, Tsawassen Reserve, and White Rock are not included in this section as each area only has one corresponding FSA 5. 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.

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. 6
