Age Distribution
In 2001, the Carmacks population averaged 411, a steady decline since the mid-1990s, when the population had been at close to 470 for several years.
In 2001 the Census indicated that almost 80 percent of the people living in Carmacks lived there five years earlier. About 9 percent of the 2001 population had come from outside the Yukon at some time in the 1996 to 2001 period.
The Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation makes up almost 70 percent of the total population of Carmacks. This is significantly higher than the 23-percent representation of First Nations in the Yukon population.
Carmacks has a very young population in comparison to the Yukon as a whole: 27 percent of community residents are children aged 14 or younger, compared to the Yukon average of 20 percent. A further 14 percent of the Carmacks population is in the 15-to-25 age group, the same proportion as for the Yukon as a whole.
The prime working age population in Carmacks is similar to the Yukon average, reflecting some movement of adults to seek work elsewhere for at least part of the time. In Carmacks, 30 percent of people are in the 25-to-44-age range, and 11 percent in the 45-to-64 range. In comparison, the Yukon overall has 31 percent in the 25-to-44 age group and 29 percent in the 45-to-64 age group. People over 65 make up 7 percent of the Carmacks population, the same as the Yukon average.
At the end of 2003, 50 percent of the Carmacks population was female, the same as the Yukon-wide percentage.
