Richmond is an island city. It is made up of a number islands in the Fraser River delta. It is just one meter above sea level. It was prone to flooding, especially during high tide. Therefore, major islands are now surrounded by a system of dykes, which serve to protect the town. Also, since it occupies land in a river delta, the city has plenty of rich soil for agriculture. Richmond is a culturally unique community. As of 2021, the city has an estimated population of 209,937 people with 60 percent being immigrants, the highest proportion of immigrants in Canada.

  Townhouses  What is a townhouse? A townhouse is a style of   multi-floor homes that share one or two walls with   adjacent neighbours. But they have their own   entrances. We often see townhouses lining the   streets in dense suburban and urban areas.   Comparing townhouses and detached houses,   townhouses have less space, less privacy, more   noise and maintenance fee. However, townhouses have some advantages over apartments, such as   they have their own entrances, yard spaces and   less expensive maintenance fee. Townhouses can   be a good alternative choice when people can’t   afford to buy a detached house and would like to   have more privacy than apartments.
