Britannia Youngstown

Bedrooms — homes here by bedroom count:

9% of homes needed major repairs in 2021, as assessed by their own residents.

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

46 condo developments, the largest around 110 units — about 572 condo dwellings in total. Separately-titled parking and storage stalls aren't counted as homes.

45 rental / multi-family buildings, typically built around 1980 — 16 small (under $1M), 28 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 40.4.

5% of households reported $200k or more; 42% under $50k.

Government transfers made up 27.8% of residents' 2020 income (including 9.1% pandemic supports — 2020 was a COVID income year); 17.3% 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 2.1; families with kids at home average 1.6 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): 13.8% — a pandemic-period snapshot.

15% of residents had moved within the previous year; 43% lived at a different address five years earlier.

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

70% of residents were born in Canada; 29% are immigrants; 1% are non-permanent residents (e.g. students or workers on a permit).

When the area's immigrants arrived:

Immigrant status and period of immigration, the 2021 federal census. Counts everyone in private households.

The origins residents most often reported. People can report more than one, so these overlap and don't add up to 100%.

Ethnic or cultural origin, the 2021 federal census — share of residents reporting each (multiple responses allowed).

33% of residents identified as a visible minority; 67% did not.

Separately, 11% of residents identify as Indigenous.

Statistics Canada defines a "visible minority" as "persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour" (the federal Employment Equity Act's wording). That's why Indigenous residents are shown separately above, and why there's no "white" category here: the residents counted as "not a visible minority" are predominantly those who identify as white, plus the Indigenous residents shown above. Shares are of all residents, the 2021 federal census.

Religion, the 2021 federal census. The census asks this once a decade (most recently 2021); major groups shown.

Households spending 30% or more of their own income on their own shelter — the standard affordability-stress measure: 16.3% of owner households · 43.9% 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): 5.5% of owners · 38.8% of renters.

Owners' own estimate of their home's value (2021): $320,000 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).

From the City's business census (2025 survey).

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 25% 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.

11 bus routes serve Britannia Youngstown: 52, 901, 903, 908, 909, 912, 914, 915, 921, 924 and 925. They run from 19 boardable stops inside the neighbourhood.

No route here meets the frequent-service bar (≈ 15-minute weekday headway).

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