Edmonton area profile
Horse Hill
Covers the developing Horse Hill area — Marquis, Quarry Ridge and rural northeast lands.
Horse Hill groups 6 Edmonton neighbourhoods — about 2,167 homes, 100% houses and 0% condos. The typical (median) house is assessed around $167,500, 64% below the citywide median. Across its established houses, the median assessed value changed -39% from 2012 to 2026. 84% of homes are owner-occupied, the average household income is about $86,134. Area figures are averages and City assessed values — directional, not sale prices ("typical" means the median; averages are noted as such).
“Horse Hill” follows the City of Edmonton's official Horse Hill planning district — one of 15 the City uses to group its 300+ neighbourhoods. Figures roll up the City's 2026 assessed values and the 2021 federal census across the area's neighbourhoods. Where a median can't be combined across neighbourhoods (income, age, shelter), the page shows the average instead — so those read higher than the medians on the neighbourhood pages and aren't directly comparable.

Population groups
9% of residents identified as a visible minority; 91% did not. Separately, 14% identify as Indigenous.
StatCan defines a "visible minority" as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour" (Employment Equity Act) — so Indigenous residents are counted separately, and the "not a visible minority" share is predominantly residents who identify as white.
Religion
Immigration, ethnocultural origin, population group and religion from the 2021 federal census, summed across the district's neighbourhoods. Neutral Statistics Canada classifications, shown identically for every area.
Housing costs
Owners pay about $1,000/month; renters about $1,650/month. Average monthly shelter cost, 2021.
Schools
1 school across Horse Hill — 1 public · 0 Catholic.
Schools by level

The market
How assessed values have moved, and how much has been built.
Assessed value over time
The median assessed house value changed -39% from 2012 to 2026.
Established houses — largely the same properties over time, so this mostly reflects real value change.
Building activity
Since 2015: 1,101 building permits and 901 net new units, plus 84 secondary suites.
Permits, units & suites year by year
Permits count every new home — including purpose-built rental and mixed-use buildings — so the yearly units can run above the owned house/condo count above. “Units” are net of demolitions, so a redeveloping year can read negative; “suites” are secondary-suite permits (basement / garden / garage suites).

About these figures. Area figures roll up the City's 2026 assessment roll (its mass-appraisal estimate of market value as of July 1, 2025) and the 2021 federal census across this district's neighbourhoods — a directional, comparative signal, not the price a specific home would sell for. Income, age and shelter figures are averages (labelled), which read higher than medians and aren't directly comparable to the neighbourhood pages.
