Saint John counted 69,895 residents in the 2021 Census, up 3.4 percent from 67,575 in 2016, spread across a large 315.59 square kilometres and 31,825 occupied dwellings. The median age of 44.0 is older than most Canadian cities, and the median household income was $62,800 in 2020.

For a local business, that describes a settled, loyal customer base that values reliability, alongside a fast-growing port and refinery economy that brings contractors and skilled workers into the city. Growth is steady rather than rapid, so reputation and repeat business matter more here than chasing newcomers.

Lead generation in Saint John should combine referral-driven campaigns for an established population with a median age of 44.0 and targeted outreach to industrial and port-related buyers.
