Mainly a suburban city, Richmond is truly a unique island city, and is located within the Metro Vancouver region, with close proximity to both downtown Vancouver and the US border. Made up of a series of islands nested in the mouth of the Fraser River, the islands include Sea Island, most of Lulu Island and 15 smaller islands.
With a population last estimated at 230,000 people, Richmond is an ethnically-diverse, growing and dynamic urban centre with a unique mix of residential and commercial property, agricultural lands, industrial parks, waterways and natural areas. Attractions to the area include the Steveston Harbour and the Vancouver International Airport.
Richmond has undergone enormous change over the last several decades, with significant growth in the early 1990s. The city is now a dynamic, multi-ethnic community. Much of the recent population growth has been made up of Asian immigrants, as peoples of Chinese or South Asian ancestry represent more than 60 per cent of Richmond residents. Newcomers have contributed significantly to the growth of the small business and retail sectors and have added to the diversity and vibrancy of the city of Richmond.
