  • Instagramup to ~11,000

Estimate: adults aged 20+ in Essa (Census 2021) × the share of online Canadian adults who use each platform (TMU Social Media Lab, The State of Social Media in Canada 2025 (summary)). It assumes people here use each platform at the national rate and counts all adults, not only those online, so treat these as upper estimates. Meta’s own audience size for your exact targeting will differ.

  • A younger population (median age 37.6 vs 41.6 for Ontario). Instagram and TikTok are worth more budget here.
  • More families with children than Ontario (50% of families vs 44%). Family-focused messages and timing around school schedules can help.
  • Median household income is 19% higher than Ontario. Premium offers and financing for bigger jobs can land well.
