Profile of Oakville

With so much data now released from the 2006 Census (population & dwelling counts, housing, immigration, and language, among others) it's interesting to take a look at Oakville and see how it's evolving. What is the population? How has it increased from 2001? What is the median age? How many people in Oakville are widowed? Divorced? Single parents? How many dwellings were built between 1986 and 2006? How many families are French speaking? How many immigrants have come to Oakville since 2001? Since 1991? How many aboriginals live here? How does our community compare with Ontario in general? This and much more can be found by clicking on Community Profiles from the Statistics Canada home page
It's worthwhile taking a look, and play around with the "Select a View" capability, which allows you to pick and choose the data you want, then click on the Print-friendly button or download the data to an Excel spreadsheet.
