2001 Neighbourhood Census Profiles
The Census is conducted once every five years by Statistics Canada to develop a national statistical portrait. The most recent survey was held on May 15, 2001. The City of Coquitlam Planning and Development Department has compiled data from several key census topics to provide a detailed overview for each of Coquitlam’s 12 residential communities. Specific census topics have been organized under the categories of People, Households and Dwellings. The analysis includes a comparison between the data for each community and the data for the entire city.
People: This section explores population change, population by age, marital status, ethnic origin, home language and level of education.
Households: This section looks specifically at household income, household type, family type, and number of children to provide an understanding of the overall household composition for each area of Coquitlam.
Dwellings: The physical composition of the built environment is explored by examining dwellings by structural type, tenure (the proportion of rented and owned accommodation), and by the age of housing stock.

As the designated Regional Town Centre for the northeast sector of the Greater Vancouver region, this profile area is the dynamic focus of higher density commercial and residential activity in Coquitlam. Major residen-tial, service and commercial projects continue to be attracted to Town Centre. The pedestrian-oriented High Street links the busy Coquitlam Centre Mall with mixed-use commercial and residential developments on the way to the City Hall, Justice Building and Library complex.
The Town Centre also features educational, cultural and recreational facilities. The David Lam campus of Douglas College and Pinetree Secondary School are located here, along with the Evergreen Cultural Centre. The City Centre Aquatic Complex, Town Centre Park and Pinetree Community Centre offer a wide variety of activities for participants of all ages.
