Second Quarter, 2019 Population Report Yukon Bureau of Statistics 2 ÷ 9 # 1 $ > 0 - 2 + 6 & ± 8 < 3 π 7 £ 5 9 1 ^ Notes on methodological changes: Prior to 2012, theYukon Bureau of Statistics (YBS) produced population esti- mates twice a year. Effective 2012, the estimates are produced quarterly. Population estimates prior to June 2010 were based on information inYukon Health Care Insurance Plan (YHCIP) files and a semi-annual health care update survey that estimated the number of plan members who were no longer Yukon residents. In 2010, the estimation model was revised and the population counts for June 2010 through De- cember 2014 were derived by tracking changes inYHCIP files and other administrative data files. In 2015, the model was further revised to make it more comprehensive and to improve accuracy based on information in all available and applicable administrative data files of theYukon government. In addition, the total population estimates for April 2011 onwards are being calibrated to post-censal population estimates adjusted for net undercoverage. The new model assigns residents of unorganized areas to their nearest communities. Estimates for Whitehorse now include population in surrounding areas as well as in Marsh Lake to remain comparable with the geographical area defined by Statistics Canada as the Whitehorse Census Agglomeration. All monthly estimates are as of the last day of the month. The June estimates represent annual figures. Due to the change in methodology in 2015, figures presented in this publication for the period from April 2011 on- wards are not strictly comparable to figures prior to the period. Yukon's population declined almost steadily from 1999 to 2001, and then fluctuated around 30,000 from 2001 to 2003. From 2004 through 2014, the population increased almost steadily in most quarters of every year except in 2013. From 2015 onwards, the upward trend in population growth gained momentum with very high growth rates recorded in many quarters, most of them being in 2016 and 2017.The June 30, 2019 popula- tion at 41,352 is the new record-high forYukon. On June 30, 2019,Yukon's population (41,352), increased by 390 people, or 1.0%, from March 31, 2019, and increased by 709 people, or 1.7% , from June 30, 2018 (revised 40,643). 1 Accurate population counts during the Gold Rush are not available.
