Figures represent the most recent available data at time of publication. Population, income, median age, immigrant %, and commute are Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) figures. Visitor-count definitions vary by city (overnight vs. total vs. regional), and Regina and St. John's publish no comparable annual total. Kitchener–Waterloo sunshine is proxied by the nearest long-run ECCC station (Guelph). Dollar values are Canadian dollars (CAD).
