Mapping Housing Cost Burden and Low-Income Prevalence in Calgary
Internal Project · Calgary Housing Affordability Mapping · Housing Affordability · Calgary
Overview
A census tract-level spatial analysis of housing unaffordability and low-income prevalence across the Calgary region, using comparative GIS mapping to identify neighbourhoods where financial strain and shelter-cost burden overlap. The analysis highlights concentrated pockets of compounding disadvantage, with unaffordable housing affecting approximately 23% of households and low-income prevalence affecting roughly 9% of residents across the region.
