Recently, Saskatchewan Health published the 2008 Covered Health Population Report. This report is not a census report as it only covers individuals whom are registered with a Saskatchewan Health Number as of June 30th.
According to the report, Carnduff has shown an increase in population from 1143 individuals in 2007 to 1176 in 2008...an increase of 33 individuals. An interesting point that I noticed in the report is that our largest demographic is ages 25 to 29 with 101 individuals and second largest demographic is ages 30 to 34 with 96 individuals.
The R.M. of Mount Pleasant also saw an increase of two individuals bringing the population to 322. The most popular demographic in the R.M. is the ages of 50 to 54 with 37 individuals and the ages of 55 to 59 with 32 individuals. The numbers in this demographic most definitely speak to the recent trends of aging family farms.
As an interesting breakdown, I split the report into five categories as follows with a breakdown of the number of individuals in each:
Under the age of 10 ~ 187 Individuals or 16% of our Population
Millenials (Generation Y; Age 10-29) ~ 313 Individuals or 27% of our Population
Generation X (Age 30 - 44) ~ 247 Individuals or 21% of our Population
Baby Boomers (Age 45 - 64) ~ 230 Individuals or 19% of our Population
Seniors (Age 65 and over) ~ 199 Individuals or 17% of our Population
This does indicate that we have a fairly young population in our community! If you would like to view the entire report, visit www.health.gov.sk.ca/population-stats
