I seem to recall the Saint John 2011-2016 map having an increased population on the Uptown Peninsula which lined-up with population figures in the city tracts.

Article about birthrates in NB in the T&T today.

There were 6,273 live births in NB last year:

Moncton - 1,909 births
- The Moncton Hospital (1,224)
- CHU Dumont Hospital (675)
Saint John - 1,467 births
Fredericton - 1,434 births

There were 1,463 births in five other hospitals combined (Bathurst, Miramichi, Campbellton, Edmundston and Woodstock)

Odd that Fredericton and Saint John are basically tied here. Does the Chalmers have a bigger catchment area? Wouldn't Saint John get everything from St Stephen to Sussex?

Curious how many that would otherwise be born in New Brunswick happen at the IWK.

I would expect Saint John to have a larger catchment yes, especially since the URVH in Waterville has a birthing unit. I think the main difference here is that Saint John likely has an older demographic than Freddy, with fewer women of childbearing age. This is the main reason why the birthrate in Alberta is so much higher than in the rest of Canada - the population is younger.

Moncton has a younger demographic as well. I don't have the precise figures at hand, but the median age in Moncton is almost identical to the national median age (which is pretty good for the Maritimes).

As for how many NB births happen at the IWK, I would posit very few. Both the Moncton Hospital and the SJRH have NNICUs and neonatalologists as well as maternal fetal medicine specialists. Only the most high risk pregnancies would be shipped off to the IWK.

Latest Q4 Population Estimates for Atlantic Canada:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1...pid=1710000901

NS - 976,768 (+5,373 from Q3)
NB - 780,021 (+3,194 from Q3)
NL - 521,922 (+380 from Q3)
PE - 157,901 (+954 from Q3)

If these growth rates are maintained:

- NS will reach 1,000,000 people by early Q1 2021
- NB will reach 800,000 people by Q2 2021
- PE will reach 160,000 people by Q4 2020.

The current Atlantic Canadian population is 2,436,612

The Maritimes alone will likely have 2,000,000 people sometime towards the end of 2021.

New Brunswick hasn't seen growth like this in a generation. I hope it continues!

Edit:

Nova Scotia outpaced 2 western provinces! That probably hasn't been seen in decades. Over a century even. Like pre 1880s?

Nearly +10K for the Maritimes is a really nice increase.

NB's improvement in interprovincial migration is good, as well.

2018 Q3
In-migrants 3,251
Out-migrants 3,796
Total: -545

2019 Q3
In-migrants 3,418
Out-migrants 3,341
Total: +77

Add to that 600 more international immigrants in Q3 2019 compared to Q3 2018 and there's your growth.

Great growth for NB.

800k in the next couple years is great. By the same rate, we'll be 1M in 20ish years. Now I know that's too far to speculate for now; but a smart NB Government would certainly target to be 900k by 2030, and that should be an attainable goal.

Really with the growth the Maritimes are seeing, we're well on track to having a strong 2020's decade. (even if NB and PEI are jointly the poorest provinces in the union)

Yes, you saw that correctly - PEI is the fastest growing jurisdiction (in percentage terms) in North America!!!

It's also the smallest by population by quite a bit. Comparatively, PEI has roughly the same population as Guam (160K) which has grown by 4.0% between 2010 and 2019. The least populated lower-48 state, Wyoming (579K) grew by 2.7% between 2010 and 2019.

Indeed. That's why I was careful to point out that PEI was winning in terms of percentage growth rate.

From the Canadian Real Estate Association:

"Greater Moncton home sales mark best December ever, capping record year

Residential sales in the area...numbered 187 units in December 2019. This was a large 30.8% gain from December 2018. This was a new sales record for the month of December.

On an annual basis, home sales totalled a record 3,385 units over the course of 2019, an increase of 16.3% from 2018."

Fredericton:

"Home sales in 2019 miss 2007 record by just 16 sales.

Residential sales...totaled 97 units in December 2019. This was an increase of 16.9% (14 sales) from December 2018.

On an annual basis, home sales totalled 2,461 units over the course of 2019. This was an increase of 12.7% from 2018 and was the second-highest annual level on record."

NO INFO AVAILABLE FOR SAINT JOHN YET.

Month over month job reports for smaller jurisdictions like NB are basically meaningless (statistical noise).

NB's participation rate went from 60.3% in December 2018 to 59.7% in December 2019. Employment rate moved from 55.4% to 55.6% over the same time frame. During this time NB's unemployment rate dipped from 8.0% to 6.8%.

I cannot stress enough that unemployment rate on its own and month-over-month stats are mostly pointless to look at without adjoining stats. Unemployment rate is not the end-all, be-all figure for economic health in an area.

Halifax's rental vacancy rate falls to 1 per cent

With Halifax's rental vacancy rate dropping to 1 per cent, the city now sits below Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal

The city's apartment rental vacancy rate has plummeted to roughly 1 per cent.

That according to a new report from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation which says that's a drop from 1.6 per cent last year.

According to the report:
  • Bachelor apartments are now renting for an average of $812, with a vacancy rate of 1.3%
  • One bedrooms are renting for an average of $959, with a vacancy rate of 1%
  • Two-bedrooms are renting for an average of $1,202, with a vacancy rate of 0.9%
  • Three-bedrooms are renting for an average of $1,390, with a vacancy rate of 1.2%
NDP housing critic Lisa Roberts told NEWS 95.7 the numbers are troubling.

"I think the fact that our vacancy rate is marginally lower than Vancouver's is very concerning and also the scale of rent increases is very concerning," she said.

The average rent was up almost four per cent from $1,066 to $1,113 in Halifax.

With Halifax's rental vacancy rate dropping to 1 per cent, the city now sits below Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

It's no wonder the Big3's housing markets are so hot at the moment. Even with the double taxation on rentals, it's still worthwhile to build and build big. I just hope we can keep the pressure up to sort that taxation issue out eventually. With the market so hot, the temptation will be to leave things as they are because it is 'working'.

T3 buying bigger busses to keep up with demand in the Charlottetown Capital Region.

Total ridership is up by as much as 50 per cent in Charlottetown, Stratford and Cornwall and now the company is set to replace some of it's "aging" fleet with larger buses, said Mike Cassidy.

"When you look at Charlottetown, Stratford and Cornwall, all three municipalities are up significantly," Cassidy said.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/princ...2020-1.5443635

Just one indicator of the steady urban growth in and around the Charlottetown Capital Region.
