Mobility Characteristics

The mobility statistics describe the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day, and his or her usual place of residence one or five years earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists between their current and previous address. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility status (e.g. 1 year ago).

Haldimand County had more “migrants” (movers residing in a different census subdivision (CSD) one year earlier) (4.1%) compared to non-migrant movers (3.5%). Those indicating Haldimand County in their new living address are most likely relocating from within the province, rather than outside of Ontario or Canada.

5 Non-movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at the same address as the one at which they resided one year earlier. 6 Movers are persons who, on Census Day, were living at a different address from the one at which they resided one year earlier. 7 Non-migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were living at a different address, but in the same census subdivision (CSD) as the one they lived in one year earlier. 8 Migrants are movers who, on Census Day, were residing in a different CSD one year earlier (internal migrants) or who were living outside Canada one year earlier (external migrants).

Quality of Life If you are looking for a slower pace of life, a short commute on quiet country roads and small-town hospitality, than look no further than Haldimand County. Haldimand has many towns and hamlets for you to explore, each having their own distinctive attractions, quaint shops, cultural and historic sites, accommodations, and restaurants. With 87 kilometres of Lake Erie waterfront and the Grand River, a designated heritage river running through the municipality, Haldimand County offers numerous water activities including: fishing, waterside camping, kayaking, boating and swimming. We have an abundance of cycling and hiking trails ranging in difficulty and distance. The scenic Waterfront Trail runs along Lake Erie's coast featuring beautiful countryside and picturesque lake views. Only a short drive from major urban centres in southern Ontario like Hamilton, Toronto and St. Catharine’s we offer a lower cost of living when compared to our urban neighbours. Small town living means embracing the quirky traditions and unique festivals and events throughout the County like Mudcat Festival, Hagersville Rocks, Mudcat Marathon, CayugaFest, Caledonia Fair, and Gas Fest to name a few.
