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