The population of Canada can be described as unevenly distributed with most people living in cities and close to the southern borders. Canada has a total population of 31 million people. With its large land area of over 3,800,000 square miles, Canada has large sections that are sparsely inhabited. Its average population density is six people per square mile. Yet, the bulk of its people (more than three-quarters of the population) live in cities. In addition, about one-third live in the three largest cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver

An overwhelming proportion of Canadians (90%) lives within 200 miles of the border with the United States. The reasons include the importance of trade with the United States to the Canadian economy; the colder temperatures in the more northern sections of the country; and the harsh topography that limits settlement and transportation across much of the Canadian interior.
