Took out the name of inhabitants part, it seemed to be more a joke than real information. - Grant 04:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The census info for 2006 says 24,390, but all the new signs say 30,000 what should be used? Conner5boys (talk) 15:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I have two answers to this: (a) we should stick to what we can cite; we can cite the census result, but not the 30K unless it shows up in the right context on, say, the W-S town website. (b) the 30K figure is clearly only an estimate and should not be used instead of the census figure. One more thing: I must express skepticism that the W-S population grew 23% in a little over a year.

Ok, I found two town websites, one with a 27,300 2006 population http://www.york.ca/Departments/Planning+and+Development/Economic+Development/economic_profile_chapter3.htm and a projected 2008 population of 32,300 http://www.memorialandbethesdaparks.ca/progress/ is that sufficient information to give an approximate current population of 30,000?

I just realized we're talking about the wrong article - this should apply to Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario and not Stouffville. However, my answer to you is 'yes', but please put it in proper context: the census number should remain (it is far more reliable), and the data from the town's site should be described as "The town's estimates" or words to that effect, and use the numbers they used.
