BELLEVILLE – The first round of results from the 2016 census was released on Feb. 8 and it holds some new results for Belleville.

The municipalities in it are Belleville, Stirling-Rawdon, Quinte West and Tyendinaga. Their total population is 103,472. This is an increase of 1.8 per cent over the total in the 2011 census, which was 101,668 people.

When all these municipalities are grouped together they are the 37th-largest population centre in Canada.
