Welcome
Lloydminster is a Canadian city which has the unusual geographic distinction of straddling the provincial border between Alberta and Saskatchewan.[1] Unlike most such cases (such as Texarkana in the southern United States), Lloydminster is not a pair of twin cities on opposite sides of a border which merely share the same name, but is actually incorporated as a single city with a single municipal administration.The population of the City of Lloydminster according to its 2009 municipal census is 26,502, of which 17,402 live in Alberta (65.7%) and 9,100 (34.3%) live in Saskatchewan.
According to the Canada 2006 Census, the population was 24,028, of which 15,910 (66.0%) live in Alberta[6] and 8,118 (34.0%) live in Saskatchewan.[7] According to the 2001 federal census, the total population of the city was 20,988, of which 13,148 (62.6%) resided in Alberta while 7,840 (37.4%) lived in Saskatchewan. From 2001 to 2006, the population rose 21.0% on the Alberta side[6] while the Saskatchewan side rose by 3.5%.
The two sides of the city rank 10th in Alberta and 11th in Saskatchewan in municipal population. If the city were entirely in one province or the other, Lloydminster's population would rank ninth in Alberta and fifth in Saskatchewan.
There are substantial demographic differences between the populations on each side of the border, with the population on the Saskatchewan side being substantially younger; the median age on the Saskatchewan side is 26.6,[7] nearly seven years less than the median age of 33.2 on the Alberta side. Even when combining the median ages for both sides of the city, Lloydminster has the youngest median age in all of Canada.[6][8] Also, the specific age group of 20–24 is much more concentrated on the Saskatchewan side. The two sides of the city have virtually identical numbers of people in that age group (1,220 in Saskatchewan,[7] 1,230 in Alberta[6]) even though the total population on the Alberta side is nearly twice that of the Saskatchewan side.
The Census Agglomeration of Lloydminster includes both parts of the city, as well as the rural municipality of Wilton No. 472, the Town of Lashburn, Saskatchewan, and the Village of Marshall, Saskatchewan.
