Which cities have experienced the most population growth on Prince Edward Island?

Population growth on Prince Edward Island has been most apparent in and around the capital city of Charlottetown and in the province's second-largest city, Summerside.1

While the province maintains a largely rural character, these two urban centers have experienced the most significant growth compared to the island's other main towns—such as Alberton, Georgetown, Kensington, Montague, Souris, and Tignish—which have exhibited little change in size. Charlottetown, in particular, saw its population double following the amalgamation of several adjoining communities in 1995.12
