Suburban Residential Land Supply in Calgary with Population and Infrastructure Details

Twice-yearly refreshed data tracks the planning stage, infrastructure needs, and growth status of all suburban residential land in Calgary. It includes estimated future population, dwelling units, and developable hectares for low-density and multi-residential projects. The dataset is published by data.calgary.ca and was last updated on May 7, 2026.

Use Cases

• Forecast infrastructure demand by analyzing the relationship between Developable Hectares, Subdivision Status, and required Storm, Sanitary, and Water columns.
• Model future population distribution using Low Density Population and Multi-Residential Population estimates across different Sectors and Community Names.
• Classify land development stages by training a model on Land Status, Subdivision Status, and Land Use columns.
• Analyze housing unit mix and density by correlating Low Density Dwelling Units and Multi-Residential Dwelling Units with Policy Name and Developable Hectares columns.

Strengths

• Data is refreshed on a consistent, twice-yearly schedule (January and July).
• Includes both quantitative metrics (units, hectares, population) and categorical planning details (status, land use, policy).
• Contains a geospatial Multipolygon column for mapping and spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for large-scale ML.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
