Scotian, someone asked me about Fort McMurray demographics on another board and this is what I found. This is actually data for Wood Buffalo, the regional municipality that Fort Mac is in. I projected the data to 2011 assuming nothing changed (actual 2011 demographics should be ready sometime this year).
Never legally married + not in a common law relationship
Age in 2006_______15-19_____20-24_____25-29_____30-34_____35-39
Age in 2011_______20-24_____25-29_____30-34_____35-39_____40-44
Male_____________1,960_____2,120_____1,315______765________485
Female___________1,810_____1,350_____675_______330________245
Excess single men___150_______770_____640_______435________240
%________________8.3%_____57.0%___94.8%_____131.8%_____98.0%
Including common law relationships softens the excess men a bit but not by much.
