Less than one third of Nelsonites aged 15 and over were married (3,320) according to the census, but a further 1,475 people declared they were living common law (never married, separated, divorced or widowed). The reason is the large number of single person households (1,740) and two-person homes (1,715) compared to three-person households (725), four-person (545) and five or more (220). The next largest category for living accommodations was apartments, with 990 such dwellings (in a building that has fewer than five storeys), while apartment in a flat or duplex was third at 710.įor all of the homes the city possesses, the average household size in Nelson is relatively small at 2.2 people per household. Of the 4,945 total occupied private dwellings (by structural type of dwelling), 2,500 of them were single-detached homes, the largest housing type in the city. People 85 years and older were three per cent of the population. The largest demographic is the 15 to 64 age bracket - with 65.5 per cent of the population - while those 65-85 comprised 20.6 per cent and 14 and under 13.9 per cent. The average age of the population of Nelson was 43, while the average Nelson woman was aged 44.3, the Nelson male average age was 41.6. Within that total, women outnumber the men, 5,760 to 5,345. Recent data from the 2020 Statistics Canada Census has Nelson at 11,106 people, up from 10,572 from the 2016 census, an increase of 5.1 per cent.
The city’s population has risen to over 11,000 people for the first time in its history.
