On average, more people have moved out of the area each year than have moved in. The result is that Huron County has seen a net loss of 875 people since 1996, or a decline of 1.5% of its 1996 population base. The most recent figures indicate our historic deficit (more people leaving the area than moving here) may be leveling off. This was particularly true among those aged 0-17 and 25-44 years. Both age groups posted gains for the first time in three years.

  • Natural Environment Update for Huron County - Technical Document
    Natural Environment Update for Huron County - Technical Document Background Research for Natural Environment Planning September 2019 This report was prepared by the Technical Team for the Natural Environment Update for Huron County Advisory Committee. Executive Summary The countryside of Huron County supports different land use activities with agriculture being prominent. At the property scale, many people find that natural areas such as woodlots, rivers, ponds, and meadows are the most attractive features of their property. In this working landscape, these features are also collectively valued by the community and broader society. It is important to have a coordinated approach for protecting and enhancing natural heritage features that is supported by agencies, stakeholders and landowners across the County. Natural systems planning identifies spatially and functionally interconnected systems of natural features and landforms. It is an effective way to preserve biodiversity, which is an essential component of ecosystem health. The natural heritage system in Huron County is comprised of coastal and hinterland landforms, natural heritage features, and watercourses. The Natural Heritage Systems Study section describes the methodology used to identify natural heritage features in Huron County and evaluate the features based on their individual significance and within the context of the natural heritage system. According to 2006 aerial imagery, there is 20% natural cover in the County. Woodlands cover 16.6% of Huron County, wetlands 6.5%, meadows 1.8%, and thickets (areas with shrubs and small trees) 0.49%.
