Direct answers

Douglasdale/Glen, answered before the long read.

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

01

What evidence supports the Douglasdale/Glen 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.

3,920 occupied private dwellings were reported as single-detached houses in the 2021 Census profile (80%); 530 apartments in buildings with fewer than five storeys represented another 11%.

03

When was much of the occupied Douglasdale/Glen housing stock built?

Douglasdale/Glen’s largest reported construction cohort was 1991 to 2000 with 2,885 occupied private dwellings (59%), followed by 1981 to 1990 with 765 (16%).

04

Does community data describe every Douglasdale/Glen 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 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 12,920 people in private households across 4,885 households, with an average household size of 2.6 people.

15% of the population was age 14 or younger, 17% was age 65 or older, 23% were immigrants. These figures describe Douglasdale/Glen at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.

Across 4,885 private households, median total household income before tax was $130,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.

3,505 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (29%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.

3,975 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (86%), while 2,395 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (52%).

Community evidence brief

A fuller Douglasdale/Glen foundation.

Douglasdale/Glen is a large southeast Calgary community where detached-home searches span different streets, construction periods, lot conditions and immediate relationships to routes, recreation and river-valley edges. The official 2021 Census profile counted 12,920 people in private households and 4,885 private households. Single-detached homes represented 80% of occupied private dwellings, apartments in buildings under five storeys represented 11%, and 1991 to 2000 was the largest reported construction cohort at 59%. Those are dated community-profile figures—not current prices, inventory, views or evidence about a specific home's condition. A useful comparison matches the sub-area, site, grade, effective age, renovation documentation and parking, then verifies title, drainage, sewer and major systems, insurance and the exact access to schools, parks, services and major routes.

Community identity

Define the geography before describing the property.

Boundary discipline

  • Confirm the exact Douglasdale/Glen 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

  • 59% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1991 to 2000 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 16% 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.
  • 11% 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.
  • 7% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2016 to 2021 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.
