Population

Planning requires an understanding of Dawson’s demographic profile: Who are Dawson’s residents? Why do they choose to live in Dawson? And why do they choose to leave? According to the Yukon Bureau of Statistics, the population of Dawson and the immediate surrounding areas is around 2,350 (December 2018). Although Dawson typically sees moderate growth and regression each census year, it experienced a 4.2% growth between the 2011 and 2016 federal censuses.
