Mobility Characteristics
The mobility statistics describe the relationship between a person's usual place of residence on Census Day, and his or her usual place of residence one or five years earlier. A person is classified as a non-mover if no difference exists between their current and previous address. Otherwise, a person is classified as a mover and this categorization is called Mobility status (e.g. 1 year ago).
Haldimand County had more “migrants” (movers residing in a different census subdivision (CSD) one year earlier) (4.1%) compared to non-migrant movers (3.5%). Those indicating Haldimand County in their new living address are most likely relocating from within the province, rather than outside of Ontario or Canada.

Quality of Life If you are looking for a slower pace of life, a short commute on quiet country roads and small-town hospitality, than look no further than Haldimand County. Haldimand has many towns and hamlets for you to explore, each having their own distinctive attractions, quaint shops, cultural and historic sites, accommodations, and restaurants. With 87 kilometres of Lake Erie waterfront and the Grand River, a designated heritage river running through the municipality, Haldimand County offers numerous water activities including: fishing, waterside camping, kayaking, boating and swimming. We have an abundance of cycling and hiking trails ranging in difficulty and distance. The scenic Waterfront Trail runs along Lake Erie's coast featuring beautiful countryside and picturesque lake views. Only a short drive from major urban centres in southern Ontario like Hamilton, Toronto and St. Catharine’s we offer a lower cost of living when compared to our urban neighbours. Small town living means embracing the quirky traditions and unique festivals and events throughout the County like Mudcat Festival, Hagersville Rocks, Mudcat Marathon, CayugaFest, Caledonia Fair, and Gas Fest to name a few.
