Population of Burnaby 本拿比人口

While Burnaby occupies about 4% of the land area of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, it accounted for about 10% of the region’s population in 2001. It is the third most populated urban centre in British Columbia (after Vancouver and Surrey) with an estimated population of 205,261. Like much of Greater Vancouver, Burnaby has always had large ethnic and immigrant communities: to cite two examples, North Burnaby near Hastings Street has long been home to many Italian restaurants and recreational bocce games, while Metrotown’s ever-sprouting condominium towers in the south have been fuelled in part by more recent arrivals from China (Hong Kong and Macau), Taiwan, and South Korea. According to the 2006 Census, 54% of Burnaby residents have a mother tongue that is neither English nor French.

虽然本拿比的土地面积只佔整个大温哥华地区约4%，但2016年时人口是大温地区的9.5%。本拿比的人口为232,755人，是卑诗省内继温哥华和素里后的第3大城市。就像大温哥华多数的地区一样，本那比也有许多的移民社区，举例来说：本那比北部的喜士定街长期以来都有许多的义大利餐听和义式滚球舘，而铁道镇内如雨后春笋般的多层公寓建筑群，某程度上亦是拜由大中华地区（包括台湾、香港和澳门）、南韩和南斯拉夫涌入的新移民所赐。根据2006年人口普查报告显示，本那比市约有54%的人并非以英语或法语作为母语的[6]。

据加拿大统计局公布2006年卑诗省人口普查中，有关华裔人口变化报告显示，卑诗省华裔人口已在1996年至2006年间，增长2%，每10个卑诗省民，就有1人具华裔背景。其中本那比市华裔人口佔了总人口的30.3%。
