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 6,240 people in private households across 3,515 households, with an average household size of 1.8 people.
10% of the population was age 14 or younger, 12% was age 65 or older, 26% were immigrants. These figures describe Crescent Heights at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 3,515 private households, median total household income before tax was $72,500 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
3,415 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (58%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
1,750 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (70%), while 1,265 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (51%).
Community evidence briefA fuller Crescent Heights foundation.
Crescent Heights is an inner-city Calgary community where apartment, detached, duplex-style and infill searches overlap within a mature street network north of the Bow River. The official 2021 Census profile counted 6,240 people in private households and 3,515 private households; apartments in buildings under five storeys represented 52% of occupied private dwellings, while single-detached homes represented 25%. The largest reported construction cohort was 1961 to 1980, so effective age, envelope, systems, renovation permits and condominium records deserve property-specific review. These are dated community-profile figures, not current prices or inventory. A useful Crescent Heights comparison also accounts for slope, immediate block, route exposure, parking, redevelopment context and the exact walking or travel route rather than relying on a generic inner-city label.
