Map of census blocks in Richmond with their population change between the 2011 and 2021 censuses. Showing that almost all of Richmond’s growth is in the city centre and especially the west side of Richmond which is predominately detached homes is shrinking in population. Sourced from censusmapper.ca and combined manually.
I could discuss for hours the opportunities, concerns, and consequences looking at this.
I don’t know how reliable cenus data is but I looked at Richmond’s population changes from the 2011 to 2021 censuses from @jensvb.bsky.social’s amazing census mapper. I find it fascinating.
