Also important to remember a lot of the SFH zoning and neighbourhood amenities that came with that were based on much larger household sizes. So moving from Strathcona (6-8 units per acre) to the newest south lake communities (12-14+ units per acre) you don't end up with a commensurate growth in population, even if it may seem like it because more people are adults. If has a copy of the Calgary Project they can grab more useful stats on neighbourhood evolution.
This household shrinking continues more slowly today:

Between 2001 and 2031, household size is expected to decrease from 2.6 persons per household to 2.4 persons per household. Household composition is also expected to change over this period, with single and dual-parent families contributing to a decreasing proportion of households (Merrill Cooper, 2006).
