Demographics of Alberta

Okay kiddo, let me explain the demographics of Alberta to you. Demographics means the study of people and their characteristics, like age, gender, race, and where they live.

Alberta is a province in Canada. It's the fourth largest province and has a population of almost 4.4 million people.

People of different ages live in Alberta. Some are babies, some are children, some are adults, and some are elderly. The average age of people in Alberta is around 37 years old. This means that some people are older, and some people are younger than 37 years old.

Now, when we talk about gender, we mean whether someone is male or female. In Alberta, there are slightly more males than females. So, for every 100 females, there are 104 males.

When we talk about race, we mean the different groups of people based on their skin color or where they come from. In Alberta, most people are of European descent, which means their ancestors come from countries like England, France, or Germany. However, there are also many people who come from other places, like Asia, Africa, or South America.

Lastly, when we talk about where people live, we mean whether people live in cities or rural areas. In Alberta, there are small towns and big cities like Calgary and Edmonton. Many people live in cities, but there are also lots of people who live in rural areas, which means they live in more isolated places, like on farms or in smaller communities.

So, that's the demographics of Alberta in a nutshell!
