Appendix 2: Census Data
Looking at data from the 2001 census, it is evident that in the small towns we visited, the age of its residents seems to be a defining characteristic. Across all of the towns, about one third (30 per cent) of the population is 55 years old or older (see Table 1). In Haliburton, nearly half (40 per cent) of its population is over the age of 55. As points of comparison, in Ontario this group represents 22 per cent of the population and in Kanata and Whitby (primarily residential suburbs of Ottawa and Toronto, respectively) this group of people represents at most 14 per cent of the residents.

At the other end of the spectrum, the population of people aged 20 or less in the small towns represents about one quarter of its residents collectively. Towns in the northern catchment, namely Kenora and Kapuskasing, boast the largest percentage of youth under 20 at 27 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively. Again, this profile differs markedly from suburbs like Kanata and Whitby, where youth under the age of 20 represent almost one third of the population.
Undoubtedly linked to these data are the seasonal nature of some of the work in small towns like Haliburton, Kenora and Kapuskasing, and the level of education attained by town residents. Seasonal work, be it in the forestry industry or in tourism, also affects the percentage of total income.
