Population projections for Newfoundland and Labrador are produced periodically by the Economics Division of the Department of Finance. The current projections were produced in June 2026.

The projections provide population by age (five-year age cohorts) and gender for various levels of geography in Newfoundland and Labrador until the year 2045.

Three different projection scenarios are available. The medium scenario is consistent with the Economic Division’s Budget 2026 economic forecast and is the one used by government for planning purposes.

A Population Projection Simulator is also provided which allows users to observe the sensitivity of population projections to changes in key assumptions.
