If you are a newcomer to Calgary – a researcher, student, business person or maybe just a resident Calgarian interested in comparing their neighbourhood with others in the city – these Community Profiles are a good place to begin.
Compiled by The City of Calgary's Social Policy & Planning (SP&P) division, demographic profiles for each community are updated to reflect the most recent statistics from both the Government of Canada and Civic Census data. The following information is explored:
population
mobility
age
income |
employment
family composition
social isolation |
education
cultural diversity
housing |
The Community Profiles contain data from Statistics Canada's 2006 Census, and from The City of Calgary's 2006 and 2008 Civic Census (the most recent federal census was conducted in 2006 and will be conducted again in 2011).
Due to the heavy reliance on federal Census data, some newer neighbourhoods will not have any data and, consequently, will have very incomplete or missing profiles. This is because there was very little population in these neighbourhoods at the time of the census (2006). Information on these areas will not be available until after the 2011 update.
In addition, each Community Profile contains a map showing the neighbourhood location and links to amenities such as:
- Aldermanic offices
- CNS area offices
- Assessment search
- health services
- social services
- Interactive facilities & service locator (police, fire, schools, recreation, etc.)
- crime statistics
- other relevant sites, such as calgaryarea.com (land-use, community associations, churches, etc.)
- and My Property (building permits, garbage collection, etc.)*
Similar profiles have been created for each of the Wards in Calgary. Click the Ward Profiles link on the left to access these.
