Urban Population
Owen Sound's population is estimated at 21,950. However, this does not
take into account the significant number of residents living just outside
the official boundary.
The urban population of Owen Sound proper, therefore, is more accurately
estimated at 32,000 (within five minutes of the city's core).
The Commercial Needs
Study 
includes the nearest townships within the primary trade area. With the
townships' population of 27,460, the total primary trade population rises
to 49,410.
Note: For purposes of the study, the primary trade area is defined as
the area where the population spends the majority of their disposable
income within the City of Owen Sound.
