Federal departments such as Parliament, Supreme Court, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Department of Justice are headquartered in Ottawa. Residents enjoy stable employment opportunities due to government and non-governmental employers. Although the federal government is the economic backbone, Ottawa has one of Canada's most diverse economies. Ottawa is the established center of Canada's high-technology sector, home to over 1,800 companies employing over 78,000 people. Tourism is the third major industry with over 7.3 million visitors spending $1.18 billion annually.

Canada's fourth largest city with an estimated population of 859,704 as of mid-2005, Ottawa is poised for substantial growth. The only cities with a larger population base are Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary. In January 2001, the new City of Ottawa was formed after the amalgamation of 11 municipalities and the regional government.

The city is becoming the major entry point for immigrants from around Population Forecast the world, due to its diverse cultural mix.
Unlike many cities, Ottawa has a large amount of land available for the development of new housing, as only 12.6% of available land mass in Ottawa is currently urban land and this area is home to 9 out of 10 residents. The available land supply is a great advantage to Ottawa as 190,000 new homes are forecast as needed within the next 20 years to service the projected population growth. Two-thirds of added housing stock is expected to occur outside of the National Capital Greenbelt in the target growth centres such as Kanata and Stittsville.

In 2005, Mercer Human Resources International, a global leader in human resources consulting, rated Ottawa as one of the most affordable major cities in North America in which to live. Additionally, with one of the most stable and diverse economies in Canada, Ottawa is an attractive employment destination.
