Demographics

Richmond Hill is now one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, with a large and multicultural population. It had 162,704 residents according to the 2006 Census, representing 23% growth from the 2001 Census which was more than four times the Canadian average during that period. Among the forty seven Canadian census subdivisions with populations over 100 000, only Brampton, Vaughan, Whitby, Markham and Barrie had faster growth rates. In 2001, the town had been recognised as the fasting growing “large” municipality in Canada by Statistics Canada. The town’s population is projected to exceed 200,000 by the year 2015.


Transportation

Road networks

The town of Richmond Hill is very well serviced in terms of transportation facilities for a community of its size. The eastern border of the town is Highway 404, a major highway which leads directly into the downtown core of the City of Toronto via the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) followed by the Gardiner Expressway. It also intersects Highway 401 which is one of the most traversed highways on the planet and is the principal east/west route in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The town's southern border is defined by the former Highway 7 and a parallel expressway, Highway 407. The latter is a toll route (the only currently existing in the province) and was designed as a bypass for the 401. The combined effect of these highways ensures that Richmond Hill is well integrated into Ontario’s road network and has easy access for all road vehicles.


Public transit

Public transit within the town of Richmond Hill is on buses co-ordinated by York Region Transit. In Sept 2005, YRT unveiled a new rapid transit initiative entitled VIVA which gives enhanced bus service on major routes using vehicles capable of speeding up traffic lights to lessen the time they idle. Also operates several feeder routes on secondary streets in the town. While reaction to the VIVA program has been very positive and the funding provided considerable, there hasn’t been as large an increase in commuter use as was hoped. Commuter train service is provided to the town by GO Transit on the Richmond Hill line with two stations in the town, Richmond Hill Station and Langstaff Station. Langstaff Station is near the new Richmond Hill Centre Terminal of York Region Transit at Highway 7 and Yonge Street, and is connected to it by a pedestrian bridge opened in March 2008.


Alternative transportation

Richmond Hill is minimally serviced by other modes of transportation. Its landlocked situation inhibits any water transportation and it lacks an airport of its own, though it does border on Markham's Buttonville Airport. The closest large airport is Pearson International Airport.
