Property Assessment Corporation, Statistics Canada, City of
Pickering Planning & Development Department |
| Notes: |
1) |
The
municipal boundaries of Pickering changed in 1974 so
population prior to that time is not available. |
|
2) |
Statistics
Canada and Municipal Property Assessment Corporation calculate
populations at different times of the year.
For population prior to 2001, The City of Pickering Planning & Development Department
uses those numbers in combination with the number of occupancy
permits issued to the end of the year to calculate a
population to December 31 of any given year. |
|
3) |
All Population
calculations are rounded up to the nearest 100. |
|
4) |
3.28
persons per dwelling unit multiplied by the number of
Occupancy Permits issued in a calendar year (up to the 2001
census) |
|
5) |
Census
2001 actual population plus 4% undercount plus occupancy permits
issued from May 31, 2001 to December 31, 2001.
3.21persons per dwelling unit multiplied by the number of
Occupancy Permits issued between May 31, 2001 and December 31,
2006. |
|
6) |
Census
2006 actual population plus 4% undercount plus finalled permits
from May 31, 2006 to December 31, 2006.
3.02 persons per dwelling unit multiplied by the number of
Permits finalled from May 31, 2006 to December 31, 2006
estimates the population increases for the year. |
|
7) |
Population calculations are based on the assumption that
dwelling units are occupied 6 months after the building permit
is issued.
3.02 persons per dwelling unit multiplied by the number of
Permits finalled each year estimates the population increase for
that year. |
