Yukon Bureau of Statistics 2÷9#1$>0-2+6&±8<3π7£5‡9≈1∞^ Population Report Second Quarter, 2020 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 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 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019r 2020r Jan 34,286 35,251 35,895 36,420 36,552 37,269 37,943 38,958 40,006 40,844 41,862 Feb 34,610 35,278 35,910 36,432 36,622 37,309 38,004 39,012 40,077 40,907 41,932 Mar 34,789 35,338 35,888 36,407 36,707 37,422 38,088 39,231 40,119 40,962 42,060 Apr 34,862 35,269 36,001 36,438 36,851 37,490 38,207 39,472 40,289 41,154 42,138 May 34,950 35,339 36,158 36,414 36,997 37,583 38,440 39,567 40,457 41,279 42,195 Jun1 34,984 35,459 36,283 36,571 37,190 37,745 38,594 39,737 40,643 41,436 42,230 Jul 35,022 35,510 36,383 36,570 37,294 37,800 38,643 39,740 40,594 41,512 Aug 35,011 35,625 36,427 36,512 37,293 37,834 38,761 39,761 40,670 41,581 Sep 35,012 35,755 36,431 36,505 37,340 37,820 38,797 39,847 40,710 41,565 Oct 35,023 35,736 36,375 36,492 37,311 37,832 38,843 39,928 40,746 41,737 Nov 34,949 35,797 36,467 36,488 37,252 37,817 38,926 39,922 40,788 41,688 Dec 34,667 35,864 36,445 36,473 37,210 37,868 38,900 39,968 40,717 41,765 1 June figures are referred to as 'annual' r = revised • During the second quarter of 2020, Yukon's population increased by 170 people from 42,060 on March 31, 2020 to 42,230 on June 30, 2020. • Comparing the months of April through June of 2020 to their respective 2019 months, popula- tion increased: 2.4% in April; 2.2% in May; and 1.9% in June.
