Here is a map of population densities based on 2011 census data at the dissemination block level (the smallest available data from Statistics Canada).

This is the population density, but a better measure might be the population + employment density, but that data was harder to come by.

The top number in each dissemination block label is the population, the bottom number the population density per square kilometre. Sorry no streets (but pretty easy to pick out St. Mary's and reference yourself from there).

Legend
(broken into even quintiles (each category has 20% of dissemination blocks from across the Region))

Interestingly, due to the nature of dissemination blocks they can lead to some interesting densities in some odd spots.
