* March 2001 through March 2002 estimates based on 2003 proportions of 22% Inuit in N.W.T. and 78% Inuit in Nunavut
From 1995/96 to 2004/05, the Canadian population grew by 9.0% while the NIHB eligible First Nations and Inuit client population registered an increase of 22.9%. The First Nations and Inuit client population has grown at an average annual rate of 2.4% compared to 1.0% for the Canadian population. These trends in population growth are expected to continue primarily as a result of the higher than average birth rate of the client population.
Revisions to the Canadian population data reflect population estimates sourced from Statistics Canada Quarterly Demographic Statistics - Catalogue No. 91-002- X1B.

Of the 764,523 eligible clients on SVS as of March 31, 2005, 51% are female (389,379) and 49% are male (375,144).
The average age of the eligible client population is 29 years. By region, this average ranges from a high of 34 years of age in the Quebec Region to a low of 25 years of age in Nunavut.
The average age of the male and female eligible client population is 28 years and 31 years respectively. The average age for males ranges from 24 years in Nunavut to 32 years in the Quebec and Ontario Regions. The average age for females varies from 25 years in Nunavut to 36 years in the Quebec Region.
The First Nations and Inuit client population is relatively young with almost three-quarters (70.4%) under the age of 40. Of the total population, 38.5% are under the age of 20. Seniors (clients 65 years of age and over) represent 5.5% of the total population.
