Data from Census 2011 reveals the population of the Columbia Basin Boundary region  has returned to 2001 levels, rebounding from a decline in population of 3,704 as reported in the 2006 census. The communities that experienced the highest levels of  growth over the last 10 years were Nelson, Cranbrook, Castlegar, Salmo and Creston.  The highest levels of population decline over the last 10 years occurred mainly in the northern part of the region, including Revelstoke, Golden, Nakusp and Valemount.  The larger communities in the Kootenay Boundary Regional District also experienced decline, including the Greater Trail Area, Rossland, and Grand Forks (in the Boundary Corridor). Nakusp and the Slocan Valley also experienced significant decline over the last 10 years. Click the link below to learn more...
