Population Mobility
The population in Strathcona is highly mobile. According to the 2005 municipal census, almost thee out of every ten residents (28.2%) of residents had moved within the previous 12 months. Another three in ten (27.4%) had moved within the previous one to three years. Only three out of every ten (30.2%) had lived at the same address for five years or more. The high student population in the area, due to the close proximity to the University of Alberta, may account for much of this mobility.

Famous quotes containing the words population and/or mobility:
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One set of messages of the society we live in is: Consume. Grow. Do what you want. Amuse yourselves. The very working of this economic system, which has bestowed these unprecedented liberties, most cherished in the form of physical mobility and material prosperity, depends on encouraging people to defy limits.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
