The city was one of only two metropolitan areas to experience a population loss during the 2006 Census.
That’s one of the many facts Stats Canada has found from number crunching the figures — and — Stats-Canada’s Marc Melanson says that’s not the case with the other two large cities in the province with Moncton leading the country in growth while Fredericton also posted significant growth.
Melanson says the average age of Saint Johners is just over 40 slightly younger than the province as a whole while the average annual income in the city is just under 71-thousand dollars which is almost 13-percent higher than the provincial average.
