What evidence supports the Woodbine 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.
2021 Census community profile
Who lives in Woodbine—and what the data can actually tell us.
Population, household, tenure and mobility context from the official City profile, separated from assumptions about an individual buyer, seller or property.

What does the Woodbine housing profile show?
2,880 occupied private dwellings were reported as single-detached houses in the 2021 Census profile (87%); 330 row houses represented another 10%.
When was much of the occupied Woodbine housing stock built?
Woodbine’s largest reported construction cohort was 1981 to 1990 with 2,305 occupied private dwellings (69%), followed by 1961 to 1980 with 855 (26%).
Does community data describe every Woodbine 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.

Woodbine by the numbers.
These figures come from The City of Calgary, 2021 Census Community Profile: Woodbine. They describe the named geography at a fixed reference date; current listings and monthly market conditions are kept separate.

Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 8,745 people in private households across 3,325 households, with an average household size of 2.6 people.
16% of the population was age 14 or younger, 20% was age 65 or older, 26% were immigrants. These figures describe Woodbine at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 3,325 private households, median total household income before tax was $115,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
2,185 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (26%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
2,250 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (86%), while 1,285 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (49%).

Community evidence brief
A fuller Woodbine foundation.
Woodbine is an established southwest Calgary community with a strongly detached-home housing profile and meaningful differences between interior streets, park or pathway edges and major-route-adjacent locations. The official 2021 Census profile counted 8,745 people in private households and 3,325 private households within the exact community profile geography used for this site. Single-detached houses represented 87% of occupied private dwellings, row houses represented 10%, and the 1981-to-1990 construction cohort represented 69%. Those figures are dated context rather than current prices or evidence about an individual property. Buyers should compare effective age, renovation and permit records, remaining systems life, lot and grading, garage and parking configuration, park-edge or route relationship, title and immediate-block condition at the exact address.
How to read this brief
Exact community-profile evidence is used for this guide. Historical Census context, current listing status and address-specific property evidence remain separate layers.
Historical community evidence, current listing status and address-specific property records remain separate layers throughout the guide.

Boundary discipline
- Confirm the exact Woodbine 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
- 69% 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.
- 26% 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.
- 4% 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.
