Census results and statistics

Information gathered through Airdrie's municipal census is used to assist departments in planning for the needs of our community and to attract new business opportunities.

Decisions regarding future transportation networks, the locations of schools, parks, utilities and fire protection facilities are based to a large extent on statistics on population growth collected in the municipal census.
