2012 Projected Growth Population represents the combined projected population growth
of all communities within each Sub-region between 2011 and 2020. Population statistics
available through Newfoundland and Labrador Statistics Agency were used as an
indication of population growth to the year 2020 trending census data for the years 1991,
1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011, as available from the Agency website.
Growth Priority Factor represents the average of those communities included in each
Sub-region. For individual communities, communities with a 2020 projected population
less than 500 residents were issued a 0. Communities with a 2020 projected population
between 501 and 5,000 were issued a 1. Communities with a 2020 projected population
greater than 5,000 were issued a 2 as a Priority Factor
Flood Damages Estimates Priority Factor represents the average of those communities
included in each Sub-region. For individual communities, this Priority Factor indicates if a
community has reported flood loss or has been documented by Public Safety Canada‟s
Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements. Communities reporting flood loss were
issued a 1. Communities not reporting a flood loss were issued a 0.
