Community boundaries for the City of Calgary

The set of community points. Each point identifies the centroid of the community it is located in.

Census data is an official count of dwelling units and population within those units. The data is physically collected and may be supplemented with other information such as the periodic age/gender distribution data. This additional data allows for better interpretation of the population statistics. A community district is a fixed boundary within Calgary, created by and for the Corporation. It represents a distinct geographical area of the city that is determined through the Land Development/Subdivision Process and approved by Council.

A list of communities with what Ward they are in.
Note: Ward boundaries do not follow community boundaries, therefore there may be some instances where a portion of a community is in an adjacent Ward. Please see the Community and Ward maps to confirm

The set of community association points. Each point identifies the centroid of the community it is located in.

Data is provided monthly by the Calgary Police Service. This data is considered cumulative as late-reported incidents are often received well after an offence has occurred. Therefore, crime counts are subject to change as they are updated.
Crime count is based on the most serious violation (MSV) per incident. Violence: These figures include all violent crime offences as defined by the Centre for Canadian Justice Statistics Universal Crime Reporting (UCR) rules. Domestic violence is excluded. Break and Enter: Residential B&E includes both House and ‘Other’ structure break and enters due to the predominantly residential nature of this type of break in (e.g. detached garages, sheds). B&Es incidents include attempts.
*Resident counts are pulled from the latest census data, and therefore undergo a change when new census data is collected and made available (typically in the summer).*

This is Statistics Canada collected census data for 2016. The data refers only to the population in private households. Residents of collective dwellings (dwellings of a commercial, institutional or communal nature) are excluded. Calgary geographic boundaries are from the municipal 2017 Census by Community.

The population, occupied dwelling count, and person per unit calculation of Calgary communities since 1968.

These data are collected from different sources and may be based on community boundaries that do not align perfectly with current boundaries. Data from 1968-1977 and 2016-present reflect community boundaries in those years. Data from 1978-2015 are based on the community boundaries in 2016. Where community boundaries have changed substantially over time, this is captured in the "notes" column. Population and dwelling unit totals do not include "Residual Sub Areas", so they may differ slightly from the totals published in official Civic Census records.
