Also, read that Calgary now has lowest crime rate per capita west of Barrie, Ontario (and trending lower):
WATCH OUT TORONTO!

That would make us the #4 city for numeric increase if we were in the US, behind New York, Houston, and LA: all of which are much bigger cities.

How is the rate of increase compare to booming cities like Saskatoon or Austin, Texas? I think Austin will still catch up to Calgary in the future.

Looks like Panorama remains largest population in the city, but beltline trajectory is solid. Currently #3.

Panorama people per dwelling ratio increases to 3.08, while people per dwelling ratio in the beltline decreases to a mere 1.36.

Eau Claire (7.12% drop), Bridgeland, Downtown West End, Sunalta, Ramsay, Mission, all decrease in population.

Not counting brand new devleopments that have started within the last ten years, Panorama leads increases, with 1,358 more people.

Beltline largest inner city increase, with 513 more people, #19 by that measure.

Interestingly, Beltline increase of population, at 2.54%, lags City of Calgary population increase of 2.62%.

Beltline is #1 in Calgary as measured by count of vacant dwellings at 510. #2 has less than half that.

Only 26.6% of dwellings in the Beltline are occupied by their owners! I knew there were a lot of rental properties, but didn't think it was 10,000 units.

Beltine grew by 513 people.

Edit: already posted above, didn't notice.

That's pretty significant. Nearly double what most people were saying (250 - 350)!!

Really? I tried to provide a more comprehensive context in my prior post.

Were you surprised by the number of decreasing population statistics in inner city areas? And that's pre-flooding, so it will likely continue next year.

Don't know much about Saskatoon but, Austin is really booming Metro area is closing in on 2 million. Alot of people from Cali moving here and don't see that stopping any time soon.

No, was surprised that most people were guessing only about 300 increase in Beltline but in reality it increased by over 500. Pretty good for a "slow year" in the Beltline.

Also, does anybody know what the updated metro number is then? Including all of Rockyview...

Was expecting a bit more, but still pretty damn impressive for city proper. It appears growth in some of surrounding cities is accelerating too.

If they include Okotoks-High River area, we'll be over 1.4million for our metro area this year.

That will be the interesting number. Calgary's share of metro growth has been dropping.

kora · #96 Posted **Jul 25, 2013, 7:24 PM**

Interesting that almost the entire NE increased in population, including the established suburbs (page 12 of Census results). This differs from most of the city where many established communities are falling in population. Must be the immigration keeping the populations up in the NE.

That is great though. I would like to see Calgary's metro cities grow into larger centres. Airdrie could be 100 000 people by census 2026 - census 2031.

I had expected a much bigger increase given the massive number of units available to be occupied over the last cycle. Instead they ended up staying vacant.

I believe Rockyview has been counted in CMA for a long time. I think you might be referring to MD of Foothills (Okotoks/High River)?

That might be the case right now, but the number of people per household in Panorama will decrease over time as the neighbourhood ages. Ten years from now, another large clump of beige stucco and siding covered houses will show up somewhere else, and will be the fastest growing community. Soon Panorama will have developed all of their land then the population will start its downward trend unlike the Beltline which will continue to increase.

The Beltline may have been #19 in the list of increases, but let's compare apples to oranges. You need to compare neighbourhoods that have completed their initial development cycle, then tell us who's #1.
