Edmonton's south suburban neighbour continues to grow at a decent rate, something that's confirmed by recently released census data for the City of Leduc.
According to the city's 2011 census, its population now tops 24,000. The official total - 24,139 - is up 3.6 per cent from 2010, and represents a 42 per cent increase in the last five years.
Growth has actually slowed in the past few years after peaking at 10.5 per cent in 2008.
Leduc officials don't consider their city to be a true Edmonton bedroom community, noting that 66 per cent of the city's workforce is employed in Leduc, Leduc County, Nisku or at Edmonton International Airport.
"This is very dissimilar to a number of regional municipalities that are true bedroom communities of Edmonton," according to a City of Leduc news release.
