Cambrian Heights community in Calgary
Direct answers

Cambrian Heights, answered before the long read.

Concise, extractable answers first; evidence, definitions and property-level limitations follow below.

01

What evidence supports the Cambrian Heights community profile?

The guide uses the exact named 2021 official profile for historical community context. It does not treat that profile as current inventory, price or evidence about an individual property.

02

What does the Cambrian Heights housing profile show?

520 occupied private dwellings were reported as single-detached houses in the 2021 Census profile (60%); 105 semi-detached houses represented another 12%.

03

When was much of the occupied Cambrian Heights housing stock built?

Cambrian Heights’ largest reported construction cohort was 1960 or before with 535 occupied private dwellings (61%), followed by 1961 to 1980 with 245 (28%).

04

Does community data describe every Cambrian Heights resident or home?

No. Historical aggregate data describes the named geography at its reference date; it cannot establish a person's circumstances or a property's current condition, price or suitability.

Official referencesGovernment and official records used for local context2 references +

Official records provide dated community context. Current listing status and conclusions about one property still require the applicable live record and property documents.

A factual base—not neighbourhood mythology

Cambrian Heights by the numbers.

These figures come from The City of Calgary, 2021 Census Community Profile: Cambrian Heights. They describe the named geography at a fixed reference date; current listings and monthly market conditions are kept separate.

Households and mobility

A community snapshot with the reference year attached.

The profile counted 2,000 people in private households across 865 households, with an average household size of 2.3 people.

16% of the population was age 14 or younger, 18% was age 65 or older, 11% were immigrants. These figures describe Cambrian Heights at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.

Across 865 private households, median total household income before tax was $104,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.

745 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (39%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.

475 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (71%), while 320 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (48%).

Community evidence brief

A fuller Cambrian Heights foundation.

Cambrian Heights is an established inner-northwest Calgary community where older detached and semi-detached housing makes lot position, effective age, renovation quality and redevelopment context central to the search. The official 2021 Census profile counted 2,000 people in private households and 865 private households within the community profile geography. Single-detached houses represented 60% of occupied private dwellings, semi-detached houses represented 12%, and the largest reported construction cohort was 1960 or before at 61%. Those figures provide dated context rather than current pricing or inventory; permits, additions, systems, title, drainage and the immediate block remain property-specific.

Community identity

Define the geography before describing the property.

Boundary discipline

  • Confirm the exact Cambrian Heights boundary and the listing's community field against the current municipal map or address record before publication.
  • Describe nearby services as nearby rather than inside the community unless the mapped boundary and current source support that wording.

Development and housing history

  • 61% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1960 or before construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 28% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1961 to 1980 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 2% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1981 to 1990 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 2% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2011 to 2015 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.

Different contexts inside the community

  • Compare interior streets with route-, park-, amenity-, employment- or edge-adjacent locations where those conditions exist at the exact address.
  • Separate site and immediate-block conditions from a broad community label; view, noise, access, privacy, construction and land-use context can change within a neighbourhood.
