This Community Profile summarizes key data from the 2021 census for West Vancouver and other recent data sources. Where relevant, findings of the 2021 census are compared to those of 2001 (so we can understand how our community has evolved over the last two decades) and compares West Vancouver to Metro Vancouver (so we can understand our community within its regional context today).
Understanding key facts and trends about our community’s characteristics supports the planning of District services, housing and land uses, amenities and infrastructure, and parks and public spaces.
