Highlights: • The estimated population of Yukon on June 30, 2020 was 42,230; an increase of 794, or 1.9%, compared to the revised figure for June 30, 2019 (41,436). • Comparing June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2010, Yukon's population increased by 7,246, or 20.7%. The population of the Whitehorse area increased by 6,161, or 22.9%; Dawson City increased by 386, or 20.4%; and Watson Lake decreased by 76, or 4.8%.

Notes on methodological changes: Prior to 2012, the Yukon Bureau of Statistics (YBS) produced population figures twice a year. Effective 2012, figures are produced quarterly. Official population counts prior to June 2010 were based on information in Yukon Health Care Insurance Plan (YHCIP) files and a semi-an- nual health care update survey that estimated the number of plan members who were no longer Yukon residents. In 2010, the estimation model was revised and the population counts for June 2010 through December 2014 were derived by tracking changes in YHCIP files and other administrative data files. In 2015, the model was further revised to make the approach more comprehensive and to improve accuracy based on information in all available and applicable administrative data files of the Yukon government. In addition, the total population count of April 2011 was calibrated to a census-based estimate adjusted for net undercoverage. The new model assigns residents of unorganized areas to their nearest communities. Estimates for Whitehorse now include population in surrounding areas as well as in Marsh Lake to remain comparable with the geographical area defined by Statistics Canada as the White- horse Census Agglomeration. In 2020, the model was updated by prioritizing residential addresses over mailing addresses in the assignment of communities. This up- date allowed for separate reporting of population estimates for Johnson’s Crossing and Mendenhall, and changes in the organization of Whitehorse subdivisions. The changes have been applied to all population estimates from June 2019 onwards. All monthly estimates are as of the last day of the month. The June estimates represent annual figures. Due to the change in methodology in 2015, figures presented in this publication for the period from April 2011 onwards are not strictly comparable to figures prior to that period.

• From 2004 through 2014, Yukon's population increased almost steadily in most quarters of every year except in 2013. From 2015 onwards, the upward trend in population growth gained momen- tum with very high growth rates recorded in many quarters, most of them being in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The June 30, 2020 population at 42,230 is the new record-high1 for Yukon. • On June 30, 2020, Yukon's population (42,230), increased by 170 people, or 0.4%, from the revised figure for March 31, 2020 (42,060), and increased by 794 people, or 1.9%, from June 30, 2019 (re- vised 41,436).

1 Accurate population counts during the Gold Rush are not available. However, the population figure in the first Census for Yukon (1901) was 27,219. 1 Monthly Population, Yukon, January 31, 2010 to June 30, 2020
