Population and Housing

[Markster]

The note of the Region getting a small proportion of Canada's total immigration is a weird one to pick for a headline (1 of 57 in 2001, 1 of 86 now). It doesn't really say much without other stats to compare to. Are we getting worse? Or are other places just getting better?

Notable stats:

This region added 14,045 immigrants between 2011 and 2016. It's the fewest number to settle here in the last three censuses. Immigration to Canada soared by 30 per cent over the same period.
The number of visible minorities has more than doubled since 2001 to reach 100,025 residents.
Visible minorities represent 19 per cent of the regional population today, up from 10 per cent in 2001, census findings show. "I believe that we all benefit from diversity," Harrison said.

Really interesting these.
