Census 2011 shows Manitoba growth but rural decline worries
The first Census 2011 release shows Manitoba up 59,867 people or five percent since 2006, with Southwest and North Central regions gaining while Parklands loses. Towns like Neepawa and Carberry grow thanks to HyLife Foods, while rural municipalities such as Alonso and Clanwilliam shrink. Declining rural populations threaten tax bases and services, though area gains may offset some impact through rising assessments. May 29 will reveal age and sex details to better interpret the trends.
