Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Hamilton (census subdivision)). Census Profile

Hamilton reached 569,353 residents in the 2021 Census, up 6.0 percent from 536,917 in 2016, with 222,807 occupied private dwellings. The city covers 1,118.31 square kilometres, so it blends a dense lower city with suburban and rural communities that behave like separate local markets.

The median household income was $86,000 in 2020, which is a touch above Toronto's and gives most households room for discretionary spending. For a local business, the useful reading is that Hamilton is growing steadily and gaining new residents, many arriving from pricier parts of the region and looking for services close to their new home.
