Editing Lower Mainland (section)

===Population===
As of the 2021 census, the population of the Lower Mainland core area totals 2,966,830:
* 2,642,825 in [[Metro Vancouver Regional District]]<ref name="2021censusB"/>
* 324,005 in the [[Fraser Valley Regional District]]<ref name="2021censusC"/>

These figures are slightly inflated due to the inclusion of areas within the regional districts which are not normally considered to be part of the Lower Mainland, notably the lower [[Fraser Canyon]] and the heads of [[Harrison Lake|Harrison]] and [[Pitt Lake]]s, which are within the FVRD, and [[Lions Bay]] and [[Bowen Island]], which are within the Metro Vancouver Regional District.{{Cn|date=February 2025}}
