Edmonton's population grew at boom-time levels during the past five years, despite an economic downturn some thought might temper growth.# [- `% d/ ~1 i; ~9 e2 b( A6 X* u

V7 e+ bStatistics Canada reported Wednesday that Alberta's population increased at twice the national average, while results of the 2011 federal census showed the Edmonton area's population grew at a faster rate than any other metro region in Canada from 2006 to 2011, with the exception of Calgary.

The capital region - including municipalities such as Beaumont, Spruce Grove and Fort Saskatchewan - grew from slightly more than a million people in 2006 to nearly 1.2 million people in 2011. That's a 12percent increase in the five-year span measured by the census.6 g/ h- a( f- p& m: _) j6 t3 q. ~

Originally, the city's chief economist John Rose thought Edmonton might see a slight slowdown from the impressive 9.6-per-cent growth it reported in the 2006 census. Instead, he said, strong job numbers in the past year helped push it to 11.2 per cent.* U% `7 r% e7 b9 c
