Yes, the City is returning to the Cohort-Survival model that it used before 2001. Analysis of past projections shows it to be the most accurate for the City’s needs. Virtually every major city in Canada uses this demographic model. The key assumption of the Cohort-Survival method is the level of net migration to the city – in other words the number of people moving into the city minus the number moving out.
