Hawk Hills is a small community in Alberta, Canada. It's known as an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's looked after by the larger Red Deer County.
Hawk Hills is also called a designated place by Statistics Canada. This means it's a specific area that Statistics Canada counts for population information, even if it's not a formal town. Before 2021, this place was known as Balmoral NW. You can find Hawk Hills in Alberta, just east of Range Road 270, a short distance north of Highway 11.

Understanding Population Counts
Every few years, Statistics Canada conducts a census. A census is like a big survey that counts everyone living in Canada. It helps us understand how many people live in different areas and how communities are growing or changing.
Hawk Hills' Population
In the 2021 Census, Hawk Hills had a population of 52 people. These people lived in 13 homes. This was a change from the 2016 census, when 42 people lived there. This means the population grew by 10 people between 2016 and 2021.
Hawk Hills covers a small area of land, about 0.26 square kilometers. To give you an idea, that's less than half the size of a typical city park. Because it's a small area with 52 people, the population density in 2021 was about 197.6 people per square kilometer. This tells us how crowded or spread out the people are in that area.
