How many people live in your watershed? Q.13 of The Big Here Quiz

Having already established the boundaries of the watershed where I live in for Question 7 of The Big Here Quiz, this question is merely a matter of adding up the population of the cities in my watershed:
  • Amherstburg, ON = 21,748
  • Belle River, ON = 4,531
  • Essex, ON = 20,032
    • includes Harrow, ON
  • Kingsville, ON = 20,908
  • LaSalle, ON = 27,652
  • Leamington, ON = 28,833
  • Tecumseh, ON = 24,244
  • Windsor, ON = 216,473
Total watershed population: 364,421

I used Statistics Canada's 2006 Community Profiles for most of these figures with the exception of Belle River, Ontario where I used 1996 data as the community amalgamated with the town of Lakeshore in 1999 which is outside of the watershed.

addendum:
