York Region Seniors Community

"According to the Statistics Canada 2006 Census, there are 91,920 seniors (those aged 65 and older) living in York Region. Seniors represent 10% of the Region’s population, which is a lower percentage than Ontario and Canada (about 14% each). Among urban municipalities, York Region has one of the fastest growing seniors populations. It is expected that by 2031 the number of seniors living in York Region will increase to 303,517, or 20% of the population. The anticipated increase is largely due to the high proportion of baby-boomers in York Region. All of Statistics Canada’s 2006 Census information is currently not available. However, the 2001 Census indicates what to expect when the complete 2006 information becomes available." ~ Source: Statistics Canada 2001 and 2006
