| 3 Growth Centres are sewer serviced (some also have water services) communities within the Municipality of Kings where urban densities of development are encouraged. |
| 4 Population figures based on dwelling counts and Statistics Canada Census data. |
| 5 Census geography in 2006 changed from previous years and data for Cambridge, Waterville and Cambridge were extrapolated using 2001 Census data, 2006 ppd (persons per dwelling) data and Municipality of Kings building permit records. |
| 6 Population estimates for Greenwood for census periods 1996, 2001 and 2006 erroneously included Clements Park military housing. Data has been corrected, and adjusted, in years following 2006. |
| 7 Some growth centres boundaries changed in 2020 with the adoption of the new MSP/LUB. Cambridge changed significantly (increased in size), Aylesford, Greenwood, Centreville, New Minas, and North Kentville changed slightly. |
