Residents in 2006 vs Residents in 2011?

TRACT 5370063.00 (James to Wellington, Cannon to North Rails)
3,182 > 3,381 (+6.3 or 199 residents added)

TRACT 5370064.00 (James to Queen, York to North Rails)
1,821 to 1,658 (-9.0% or 163 residents lost)

TRACT 5370036.00 (James to Wellington, King to South Rails)
2,542 to 3,243 (+27.6% or 701 residents added)

TRACT 5370037.00 (James to Queen, King to Hunter)
2,586 to 2,464 (-4.7% or 122 residents lost)

TRACT 5370048.00 (James to Queen, Cannon to King)
1,761 to 1,858 (+5.5% or 97 residents added)

TRACT 5370049.00 (James to Wellington, Cannon to King)
2,597 to 2,473 (-4.8% or 124 residents lost)

Based on the above numbers, it appears that net population growth in downtown Hamilton, 2006-2011, averaged 118 residents per year, which is pretty much unchanged since the 2001-2006 sample. That achievement was made possible by explosive population growth in Tract 5370036.00, which lays claim to 70% of population growth in downtown Hamilton during the last five years (my guess is that it'd have something to do with units added via the Foster Building and the Terraces on King during this period).
