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 7,920 people in private households across 3,620 households, with an average household size of 2.2 people.
17% of the population was age 14 or younger, 9% was age 65 or older, 23% were immigrants. These figures describe Killarney/Glengarry at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 3,620 private households, median total household income before tax was $99,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
4,115 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (56%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
1,975 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (72%), while 1,355 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (49%).
Community evidence briefA fuller Killarney/Glengarry foundation.
Killarney/Glengarry is an inner-city southwest Calgary market where original detached houses, newer infill, semi-detached and row products, and low-rise apartments compete at different ownership and price points. The official 2021 Census profile counted 7,920 people in private households and 3,620 private households. Single-detached houses represented 26% of occupied private dwellings and apartments in buildings under five storeys represented 22%; the 1960-or-before cohort was the largest single construction period at 23%, but later redevelopment is distributed throughout the community. Comparisons should separate property and ownership form, then test lot and block position, effective age, shared-wall or condominium obligations, renovation and permit records, parking, and immediate main-street or route context. Historical Census data is not current inventory or price evidence.
