Population and Housing

[kalis0490]

I was recently looking at some 2018 Statcan population tables. (The population tables can be found here: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/...1710013901).

 I found that in 2018, Waterloo RM had an estimated permanent population of 579, 145 people. This is 10K+ people larger than the population of the city of Hamilton (former Hamilton-Wentworth RM), which had an estimated population of 567,979 people.

This makes Waterloo RM the 7th largest upper-tier municipality in Ontario, behind Toronto, Peel, York, Ottawa, Durham and Halton.

The population of Halton RM was 580,014 which is less than 1000 people larger than Waterloo RM.
