It was later incorporated as a city in 1904 and named for Edmonton, London. As of 2016, the city's population was 932,546. However, only a few years later, the municipal census of 2019 noted that 972,223 residents called the locale home.

Outside the city proper, the metro area has a bit over 1.3 million residents, meaning that nearly 74% of the area residents choose to live within the specific Edmonton jurisdiction. The combination of steady growth and the focus on the central city often means a strong economy and pleasant living conditions. As part of this reality, the median income per family in 2011 was $88,075. The average income per household was also fairly high at $103,856.
