Carlton

Bedrooms — homes here by bedroom count:

2% of homes needed major repairs in 2021, as assessed by their own residents.

Building-type, bedroom and condition figures from the 2021 federal census.

5 condo developments, the largest around 197 units — about 434 condo dwellings in total. Separately-titled parking and storage stalls aren't counted as homes.

3 rental / multi-family buildings — 2 small (under $1M), 1 mid ($1–10M). Purpose-built rentals (assessed as a single parcel each), separate from the owned homes counted above. Unit counts aren't in the open data.

Median age 34.

15% of households reported $200k or more; 9% under $50k.

Government transfers made up 15.6% of residents' 2020 income (including 6.7% pandemic supports — 2020 was a COVID income year); 6.5% of residents were below the low-income measure (LIM-AT).

Household total income, 2020, from the 2021 federal census (income shares and low-income prevalence as reported). Statistics Canada rounds and suppresses small counts, so shares may not sum exactly to 100.

Average household size 3.2; families with kids at home average 2.1 children.

Occupation groups (share of the labour force):

Industries residents work in (top 10; the rest combined):

Unemployment rate in the census reference week (May 2021): 9.4% — a pandemic-period snapshot.

8% of residents had moved within the previous year; 31% lived at a different address five years earlier.

Counts every change of address — moves within Carlton, into it, owners and renters alike.

Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 21.5% of owner households · 35.8% of renter households. (Different from the headline above, which compares the median cost against the median income — a typical-household what-if, not a count of stretched households.)

In core housing need (unaffordable, unsuitable or inadequate, with no affordable local alternative): 4.9% of owners · 13.2% of renters.

Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $424,000 median — self-reported, so it can differ from the assessed medians above.

Owner costs reflect current owners — including long-time, mortgage-free ones — not the cost to buy in today. The income-share figures compare 2020 median household income with shelter costs reported in 2021.

Independent / private schools aren't in the City's open data, so they aren't listed here. School-quality ratings are published separately by the Fraser Institute (not affiliated with this site).

From the City's business census (2025 survey).

Counts come from City of Edmonton business licences and the City's business census — a licence means a business is registered at an address here, not a guarantee it's open today , and includes home-based businesses (about 50% of licences here). Landlord rental licences are excluded, and a listing isn't an endorsement.

Counts come from the City of Edmonton's parks and playgrounds open data. A park is attributed to the neighbourhood its centre point falls in, so a large park or greenway that spans several areas is counted once — treat boundaries as approximate. Trail corridors appear here as greenways; off-street bike routes aren't included.

5 bus routes serve Carlton: 109, 140X, 618, 625 and 683. They run from 29 boardable stops inside the neighbourhood.

No route here meets the frequent-service bar (≈ 15-minute weekday headway).

Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside Carlton, with “frequent” meaning at least 100 weekday trips through the neighbourhood (about a bus every 15 minutes or better, counting both directions). Distances are straight-line (“as the crow flies”) from the neighbourhood centre — the actual walking or driving route is longer. Future stations are under construction; their locations and timelines come from City of Edmonton project pages and can change. Day-to-day commute mode (drive / transit / walk) is shown under “Who lives here.” Source: City of Edmonton LRT & ETS (GTFS) Open Data.

Permits count every new home built — including purpose-built rental apartments and mixed-use buildings — so this can run well above the "total homes" figure above, which counts only individually-owned houses and condos.
