2021 community profile
Roxboro housing and community history.
A dated look at population, households, housing types and building eras—useful background for understanding how the community has evolved.
Historical community snapshot
Roxboro by the numbers.
These dated figures come from The City of Calgary, 2021 Census Community Profile: Roxboro. They add historical context to the community guide; current homes and market conditions are shown separately.

Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 415 people in private households across 165 households, with an average household size of 2.5 people.
19% of the population was age 14 or younger, 24% was age 65 or older, 17% were immigrants. These figures describe Roxboro at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 165 private households, median total household income before tax was $232,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
70 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (18%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
45 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (60%), while 25 reported the most common duration, less than 15 minutes (33%).

Community evidence brief
A fuller Roxboro foundation.
Roxboro is a compact inner-south community where buyers often weigh the value of the site, privacy, renovation quality and the immediate Elbow River valley setting as carefully as the house itself. The official 2021 Census profile counted 415 people in private households and 165 private households within the exact community profile geography used for this site. Single-detached houses represented 97% of occupied private dwellings, and the largest reported construction cohort was 1960 or before at 64%. Those figures describe historical community context, not current prices, current inventory or any individual property. Current decisions should still be based on the exact address, title, permits, improvements, site conditions, school designation and travel requirements.

Boundary discipline
- Confirm the exact Roxboro boundary and the listing's community field against the current municipal map or address record before publication.
- Describe nearby services as nearby rather than inside the community unless the mapped boundary and current source support that wording.
Development and housing history
- 64% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1960 or before construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
- 9% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2001 to 2010 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
- 9% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 2016 to 2021 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
- 6% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1961 to 1980 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
Different contexts inside the community
- Compare interior streets with route-, park-, amenity-, employment- or edge-adjacent locations where those conditions exist at the exact address.
- Separate site and immediate-block conditions from a broad community label; view, noise, access, privacy, construction and land-use context can change within a neighbourhood.
