Verified figures and local facts we use to plan campaigns in Nanaimo, BC.
Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Nanaimo (census subdivision)). Census Profile
Nanaimo grew to 99,863 residents in the 2021 Census, a 10.3 per cent rise from 90,504 in 2016. The median age of 45.2 is higher than most Canadian cities, and households reported a median total income of $75,500 in 2020, so buyers tend to be older, careful and loyal once won.
The city covers only 90.45 square kilometres, so the 43,164 occupied dwellings sit close to one another and to the mid-island customers who drive in from surrounding areas. With 3,610 employer businesses competing in 2022, most of them very small, a clear local presence separates a firm from the rest.
