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 briefA 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.
