Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 3,285 people in private households across 1,145 households, with an average household size of 2.9 people.
21% of the population was age 14 or younger, 17% was age 65 or older, 11% were immigrants. These figures describe Elbow Park at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 1,145 private households, median total household income before tax was $288,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
895 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (29%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
640 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (78%), while 410 reported the most common duration, less than 15 minutes (50%).
