Mobility Status of Albertans (Place of Residence 5 Years Ago - Movers) by Alberta Census Division

This Alberta Official Statistic describes the mobility status (Place of Residence 5 years ago) of Albertans by Census Division for 2011. Mobility status refers to the relationship between a person’s usual place of residence on Census Day 2011 and his or her usual place of residence five years earlier in 2006. “Movers” are those who reported a change of address. “Internal migrants” resided in a different census division (CD) within Canada. “External migrants” resided outside Canada. Internal migrants who moved within the same province are called “intraprovincial migrants”, while those who moved between two provinces are identified as “interprovincial migrants”. Non-migrants are people who, on Census Day, were living at a different address but within the same CD five years earlier.
