Population of South Vancouver

According to the 2006 Census South Vancouver would have had a population of 174,607. This makes it the fourth largest city in the province after the rest of Vancouver (still the largest even with South Vancouver removed), Surrey, and Burnaby. South Vancouver has 146 more people than Richmond.

South Vancouver grew 5.6% from 165,404 in 2001. It was also the fourth largest city in 2001, but is unlikely to retain that title in 2011 - as Richmond is growing considerably faster will likely have overtaken South Vancouver. More on the people of South Vancouver later.
