The current population of 284,000 people is expected to grow to 418,000 by 2031. Population-driven employment is rising in response to the growth experienced.
The economic base in Vaughan is large and diversified. From small enterprises to multinational corporations, Vaughan’s entrepreneurial culture encourages growth and innovation.

An innovative technology sector is emerging, with products ranging from communications, space laser instrumentation, green automotive technologies, building technologies, video and computer gaming technologies.
The City continues to attract large-scale investment by keeping infrastructure at the forefront- planning and construction is underway on the York-Spadina Subway Extension connecting downtown Toronto to the heart of Vaughan’s future downtown core- the Metropolitan Centre; while the planned extension of Highway 427 through the Vaughan Enterprise Zone, will give unparalleled access to the more than 2,400 acres available for industrial and commercial development.
