Census: Tillsonburg Oldest, Norwich Youngest

Tuesday, 29 May 2012 07:34

New Census data shows Woodstock is growing older, but Tillsonburg is by far and away the oldest population in Oxford County. While Woodstock's rate of seniors has gone up to 16.8 per cent, over a quarter of the population of Tillsonburg is 65-and-older. 25.1 per cent is the senior rate in Tillsonburg according to the 2011 Census. The data also shows Norwich as having the youngest population base. 23.6 per cent of that population base is comprised of kids, and only 12.5 per cent are seniors. Here's a break down of the stats by municipality: Community 2011 %pop. 2006 % change Woodstock Median Age 40.7 39.8 Female 19,450 51.5 18,510 5.1 Male 18,305 48.5 17,310 5.7 Children 6,490 17.2 6,535 -0.7 Working Age 24,905 66.0 23,475 6.1 Seniors 6,360 16.8 5,815 9.4 Ingersoll Median Age 40.2 38.8 Female 6,195 51.0 5,985 3.5 Male 5,955 49.0 5,775 3.1 Children 2,290 18.9 2,335 -1.9 Working Age 8,120 66.9 7,820 3.8 Seniors 1,735 14.3 1,610 7.8 Tillsonburg Median Age 46.9 43.9 Female 8,050 52.6 7,835 2.7 Male 7,250 47.4 6,990 3.7 Children 2,285 14.9 2,400 -4.8 Working Age 9,180 60.0 9,020 1.8 Seniors 3,835 25.1 3,405 12.6 Norwich Median Age 35.8 35.5 Female 5,315 49.6 5,225 1.7 Male 5,410 50.5 5,255 2.9 Children 2,525 23.6 2,525 0.0 Working Age 6,850 63.9 6,685 2.5 Seniors 1,340 12.5 1,275 5.1 Community 2011 %pop. 2006 % change South-West Oxford Median Age 39.4 37.7 Female 3,635 48.2 3,700 -1.8 Male 3,910 51.8 3,890 0.5 Children 1,620 21.5 1,655 -2.1 Working Age 4,990 66.1 5,075 -1.7 Seniors 940 12.5 860 9.3 Zorra Median Age 41.5 40.0 Female 3,985 49.5 3,995 -0.3 Male 4,075 50.6 4,130 -1.3 Children 1,495 18.6 1,580 -5.4 Working Age 5,390 66.9 5,490 -1.8 Seniors 1,175 14.6 1,055 11.4 East Zorra-Tavistock Median Age 43.5 41.0 Female 3,455 50.5 3,570 -3.2 Male 3,380 49.5 3,435 -1.6 Children 1,195 17.5 1,350 -11.5 Working Age 4,425 64.7 4,495 -1.6 Seniors 1,220 17.8 1,160 5.2 Blandford-Blenheim Median Age 40.8 39.2 Female 3,580 48.7 3,480 2.9 Male 3,780 51.4 3,670 3.0 Children 1,395 19.0 1,470 -5.1 Working Age 5,035 68.5 4,875 3.3 Seniors 930 12.6 805 15.5
