List of population centres in New Brunswick
Population centre, in Canadian census data, is a populated place, or a cluster of interrelated populated places, which meets the demographic characteristics of an urban area, having a population of at least 1,000 people and a population density of no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre.[1]
The term was first introduced in the Canada 2011 Census; prior to that, Statistics Canada used the term urban area.[1]
In the 2011 census, Statistics Canada listed 33 population centres in the province of New Brunswick.[2] As of 2016, there were only 26 due to population decline in smaller towns.
