D.1 Data Collection and Accuracy

Section D DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW D.2.1 Total Population The demographic data used for the purposes of the Phase I Deliverables report are extracted from Statitics Canada's 2016 Canadian Census of Populatition and the 2011 Natitional Household Survey. The 2016 data and 2011 data had difffferent collectition methods, therefore in most cases it is not accurate to compare year to year data. However, the populatition numbers reported can be compared between the 2011 and 2016 census years as the collectition methods for populatition counts was the same. The most notable adjustment to the 2016 Census was the reinstatement of the mandatory long-form census questitionnaire. A sample of 25% of Canadian households received a long-form questitionnaire, which also consists of short-form questitions. Furthermore, income-related questitions were eliminated as Statitistitics Canada retrieved the relevant informatition from personal income tax and benefifits. Therefore, the data is not comparable to previous years due to discrepancies in questitions and collectition methods. The Census Tracts that had boundaries that intersect the University Avenue West or Wyandotttte Street West corridors that are subject of this study were included in the demographic review. This resulted in four census tracts (0029.00, 0030.00, 0031.00, 0027.00) being reviewed for the purposes of this study, shown below:

D.2.1 Total Population

Census Tract 27 has the smallest population, containing a sum of 1070 residents. Within Census Tract 29, there is a total population of 2345 people. Census Tract 30 has a population of 3360, making it the most populated area out of the four. Lastly, Census Tract 31 is home to 1505 individuals

D.2.2 Population Growth

The total population of the study area as of 2016 is 8280, which is a 6.8% increase in the number of residents since 2011. The population growth experienced by the study area is more than double that of the City of Windsor, which has an increase of only 3.1%. The rapid population growth within the study area is particularly visible in Census Tract 31 as this CT experienced the most prominent growth, as its population has increased by 11.4%. An increase in senior residents has contributed to the substantial population growth of Census Tract 31
