Visitor Adjusted Population
Banff’s full time residential population for 2010 was 8,721 based on the 2007 census. However, many municipal services are impacted heavily by the visiting population of more than 3 million annually. A visitor adjusted population of 23,779 for 2010 includes a percentage of annual visitation in the calculations and is used in some indicators to reflect a more accurate performance. The visitor adjusted population for 2009 was 23,675.

The Town of Banff communications department compiles the indicator information and prepares the report. For further information contact Communications at 403.762.1207.
