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.

Community-level tabulations of annual census counts of residents, dwellings, and dwelling occupancy. Community boundaries can change over time. These results are based on the community boundaries at the time of data collection in each year.

Annual population estimates as of July 1st, by census metropolitan area and census agglomeration, single year of age, five-year age group and gender, based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2021.

Estimated number of persons by quarter of a year and by year, Canada, provinces and territories.

The Population and Dwellings data from the 2021 Federal Census covers population in private households by age and gender. For questions, please contact socialresearch@calgary.ca. Please visit Data about Calgary's population for more information.

Population in private households refers to all persons or group of persons who occupy the same dwelling and do not have a usual place of residence elsewhere in Canada or abroad. For census purposes, households are classified into three groups: private households, collective households, and households outside Canada. Unless otherwise specified, all data in census products are for private households only. Population in private households includes Canadian citizens and landed immigrants whose usual place of residence is Canada. Also includes refugee claimants, holders of work and study permits, Canadian citizens and landed immigrants at sea or in port aboard merchant or government vessels, and Canadian citizens away from Canada on military or diplomatic business. Excludes government representatives and military members of other countries and residents of other countries visiting Canada.

Age refers to the age of a person (or subject) of interest at last birthday (or relative to a specified, well‑defined reference date).

Gender refers to an individual's personal and social identity as a man, woman, or non‑binary person (a person who is not exclusively a man or a woman). A person's gender may differ from their sex at birth, and from what is indicated on their current identification or legal documents such as their birth certificate, passport, or driver's licence. A person's gender may change over time. Statistics Canada collected data about transgender and non-binary populations for the first time on the 2021 Census. The category "Men+" includes men (and/or boys), as well as some non-binary persons. The category "Women+" also includes women (and/or girls), as well as some non-binary persons.

This is a one-time load of Statistics Canada federal census data from 2021 applied to the Communities, Wards, and City geographical boundaries current as of 2022 (so they will likely not match the current year's boundaries). Update frequency is every 5 years. Data Steward: Business Unit Community Strategies (Demographics and Evaluation). This dataset is for general public and internal City business groups.

Canada's largest metropolitan area is Toronto, in Ontario. In 2022. Over 6.6 million people were living in the Toronto metropolitan area. Montréal, in Quebec, followed with about 4.4 million inhabitants, while Vancouver, in Britsh Columbia, counted 2.8 million people as of 2022.

Ward-level tabulations of annual census counts of residents, dwellings, and dwelling occupancy. Ward boundaries can change over time. These results are based on the ward boundaries at the time of data collection in each year.

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.

BackgroundWe address three key gaps in research on urban wildlife ecology: insufficient attention to (1) grassland biomes, (2) individual- and population-level effects, and (3) vertebrates other than birds. We hypothesized that urbanization in the North American Prairies, by increasing habitat complexity (via the proliferation of vertical structures such as trees and buildings), thereby enhancing the availability of day-roosts, tree cover, and insects, would benefit synanthropic bats, resulting in increased fitness among urban individuals. Methodology/Principal FindingsOver three years, we captured more than 1,600 little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in urban and non-urban riparian sites in and around Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This species dominated bat assemblages throughout our study area, but nowhere more so than in the city. Our data did not support most of our specific predictions. Increased numbers of urban bats did not reflect urbanization-related benefits such as enhanced body condition, reproductive rates, or successful production of juveniles. Instead, bats did best in the transition zone situated between strictly urban and rural areas. Conclusions/SignificanceWe reject our hypothesis and explore various explanations. One possibility is that urban and rural M. lucifugus exhibit increased use of anthropogenic roosts, as opposed to natural ones, leading to larger maternity colonies and higher population densities and, in turn, increased competition for insect prey. Other possibilities include increased stress, disease transmission and/or impacts of noise on urban bats. Whatever the proximate cause, the combination of greater bat population density with decreased body condition and production of juveniles indicates that Calgary does not represent a population source for Prairie bats. We studied a highly synanthropic species in a system where it could reasonably be expected to respond positively to urbanization, but failed to observe any apparent benefits at the individual level, leading us to propose that urban development may be universally detrimental to bats.

As of July 1, 2022, there were approximately 13.87 million males and 14.13 million females living in metropolitan areas across Canada. This statistic breaks down this figure by metropolitan area. Toronto was the most populated city in the country, counting over 3.2 million males and 3.4 million females.

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. Data is presented by ward boundaries, the electoral areas represented by one councillor.

Number and rate (per 100,000 population) of homicide victims, Canada and Census Metropolitan Areas, 1981 to 2024.

This statistic shows the homicide rate in Canada in 2023, distinguished by metropolitan areas. In 2023, the homicide rate was highest in Thunder Bay, with 5.39 victims per 100,000 population. During the same year, the national homicide rate was 1.94 per 100,000 population in Canada.

The City of Calgary has been conducting the annual civic census for over fifty years. This dataset provides the counts of residents and dwelling units including by structure type broken out into community districts for years 1968-1997.

Low income cut-offs (LICOs) before and after tax by community size and family size, in current dollars, annual.

Number and percentage of live births, by month of birth, 1991 to most recent year.

This table presents income shares, thresholds, tax shares, and total counts of individual Canadian tax filers, with a focus on high income individuals (95% income threshold, 99% threshold, etc.). Income thresholds are geography-specific; for example, the number of Nova Scotians in the top 1% will be calculated as the number of taxfiling Nova Scotians whose total income exceeded the 99% income threshold of Nova Scotian tax filers. Different definitions of income are available in the table namely market, total, and after-tax income, both with and without capital gains.

These are the results of 2023 Fall Survey of Calgarians. To see the most recent reports, visit Calgary.ca/citizensatisfaction For detailed information on the variables in this dataset, see the variable metadata.

Methodology The City’s Fall Survey of Calgarians is a telephone survey conducted with a randomly selected sample of Calgarians aged 18 years and older. The survey is conducted on an annual basis. The data are weighted to ensure the overall sample’s quadrant, ward, and age/gender composition reflects that of the actual Calgary population aged 18 or older according to Municipal and Federal Census data. Weights are included in the dataset. The variable metadata contains detailed information on the variables.”

Please use caution, when comparing data sets from previous years and consult the reports for any notable changes to the survey that may impact historical tracking. Further, if merging this data with historical data sets, please ensure that Qlabel and Valuelabel fields align. Given changes to the survey over time, variable and value fields may be inconsistent.

Please be advised that this survey, referenced as "Fall Survey of Calgarians (2023)", was previously known as "Citizen Satisfaction Survey". The name change does not affect the nature or purpose of the survey.

The Employment data from the 2021 Federal Census covers labour force status, employment status, labour force participation rate, industry, and occupation. For questions, please contact socialresearch@calgary.ca. Please visit Data about Calgary's population for more information.

Labour force status refers to whether a person was employed, unemployed or not in the labour force during the reference period. Not in the labour force refers to persons who were neither employed nor unemployed during the reference period. This includes persons who, during the reference period were either unable to work or unavailable for work. It also includes persons who were without work and who had neither actively looked for work in the past four weeks nor had a job to start within four weeks of the reference period.

Employment status refers to the employment status of a person during the period of Sunday, May 2 to Saturday, May 8, 2021. An employed person is one who did any work at all at a job or business, that is, paid work in the context of an employer-employee relationship, or self-employment. This category excludes persons not at work because they were on layoff or between casual jobs, and those who did not then have a job (even if they had a job to start at a future date). While an unemployed person is one who was without paid work or without self-employment work and was available for work. An unemployed person either: had actively looked for paid work in the past four weeks; was on temporary lay-off and expected to return to his or her job; or had definite arrangements to start a new job in four weeks or less.

Labour force participation rate refers to the total labour force in that group, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that group.

Industry refers to the general nature of the business carried out in the establishment where the person worked. The industry data are produced according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Occupation refers to the kind of work performed in a job, a job being all the tasks carried out by a particular worker to complete their duties. An occupation is a set of jobs that are sufficiently similar in work performed. The occupation data are produced according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021.
