  1. Indeed, Alnwick-Haldimand is a very rural township with no urban area. Many people don’t realize it’s our only one, of Northumberland’s seven municipalities. (Note however that Alderville First Nation is also classed as rural.) The other six all contain at least one area classified by Stats Can as an urban area.

    Our six “urban areas” had 42,264 people in 2006, making the county 52.2% urban. The populations of those six “urban areas” were:
    Cobourg 18,210
    Port Hope 12,356
    Brighton 5,338
    Campbellford 3,173
    Colborne 1,992
    Hastings 1,195

    They define any place with urban density and more than 1,000 people as an urban area, which explains why they say 80% of Canadians live in urban areas.
