NEI Population Groups

Portraits of Population Groups: Seniors

In Ottawa, the population of seniors is growing rapidly. The number of seniors aged 65 and over is expected to more than double in the next 20 years. While many Ottawa seniors experience a high quality of life overall, a substantial number of older adults face barriers related to factors such as health, isolation, income, culture, and language.

The data and maps on this page provide insight into the diversity of senior populations across neighbourhoods and rural communities of Ottawa, and the challenges they might be facing.
