Situated in central Alberta roughly south of Edmonton, the County of Wetaskiwin No. 10 is a municipal district whose administrative office is based in the nearby City of Wetaskiwin. The county falls within Census Division No. 11, placing it among the agricultural and rural communities that characterise this part of the province. With a total land area of approximately 3,122 square kilometres, the district offers a spread-out, rural character typical of central Alberta’s plains.
According to Statistics Canada’s 2021 census, the county was home to 11,217 residents occupying 4,492 of its 5,677 private dwellings, reflecting a modest population increase of around 0.4 percent compared to the 11,176 people recorded in 2016. That 2016 figure itself represented a 2.9 percent rise over the 2011 count of 10,866, suggesting a pattern of slow but steady growth across successive census periods. With a population density of roughly 3.6 people per square kilometre, the county remains lightly settled across its broad expanse of land, consistent with the wider rural character of municipal districts found throughout central Alberta.
