Households and mobility

A community snapshot with the reference year attached.

The profile counted 2,470 people in private households across 1,040 households, with an average household size of 2.4 people.

13% of the population was age 14 or younger, 21% was age 65 or older, 22% were immigrants. These figures describe Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.

Across 1,040 private households, median total household income before tax was $111,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.

845 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (36%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.

550 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (76%), while 395 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (54%).

Community evidence brief

A fuller Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill foundation.

Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill is an inner-city northwest Calgary market that combines detached homes with low- and high-rise apartment choices across varied construction eras. The official 2021 Census profile counted 2,470 people in private households and 1,040 private households. Single-detached houses represented 57% of occupied private dwellings, low-rise apartments 20% and apartments in buildings over five storeys 13%. The profile recorded 33% of occupied dwellings in the 1960-or-before cohort and 30% from 1961 to 1980. Buyers and sellers therefore need property-form-specific comparisons, with site and view relationships, effective age, renovation and permit records, title or condominium documents, parking and immediate route context assessed at the address level.

Community identity

Define the geography before describing the property.

Boundary discipline

  • Confirm the exact Hounsfield Heights/Briar Hill 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

  • 33% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1960 or before construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 30% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1961 to 1980 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 13% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2001 to 2010 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
  • 8% 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.

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.
