Shawinigan counted 49,620 residents in the 2021 Census, up 0.5 percent from 2016, well below the Quebec average. The city stretches across 729.98 square kilometres along the Saint-Maurice River, joining the old industrial core with Grand-Mère, Shawinigan-Sud and rural sectors.

Its economy is rebuilding on cheap hydroelectric power, with aluminum, new data centre projects and tourism tied to the national park and the Cité de l'énergie. For a local business, that means a stable but slow-growing resident market, seasonal visitor spending, and opportunities serving new industrial investment.
