Starling

Bedrooms — homes here by bedroom count:

3% of homes needed major repairs in 2021, as assessed by their own residents.

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

1 condo development — about 80 condo dwellings in total. Separately-titled parking and storage stalls aren't counted as homes.

2 rental / multi-family buildings, typically built around 2024 — 1 mid ($1–10M), 1 large (over $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 32.4.

24% of households reported $200k or more; 0% under $50k.

Government transfers made up 7% of residents' 2020 income (including 2.7% pandemic supports — 2020 was a COVID income year); 2% 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 2.7; families with kids at home average 1.8 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): 7.1% — a pandemic-period snapshot.

16% of residents had moved within the previous year; 73% lived at a different address five years earlier.

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

Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 14.2% of owner households · 0% 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): 2.1% of owners · 0% of renters.

Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $492,000 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).

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.

Bus-route data isn't available for Starling yet.

Bus routes and frequency come from the City's ETS GTFS schedule — the routes whose trips call at stops inside Starling, 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.
