Marlborough Park 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
Marlborough Park by the numbers.
These dated figures come from The City of Calgary, 2021 Census Community Profile: Marlborough Park. 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 8,290 people in private households across 2,870 households, with an average household size of 2.9 people.
18% of the population was age 14 or younger, 16% was age 65 or older, 38% were immigrants. These figures describe Marlborough Park at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 2,870 private households, median total household income before tax was $81,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
2,470 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (32%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
2,455 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (80%), while 1,590 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (52%).

Community evidence brief
A fuller Marlborough Park foundation.
Marlborough Park is an established northeast Calgary community with a meaningful mix of detached homes and row housing, so buyers should separate property form, ownership structure and renovation history before comparing value. The City of Calgary's 2021 Census profile counted 8,290 people in private households and 2,870 private households in the community. Single-detached homes represented 57% of occupied private dwellings and row houses represented 22%; 84% of occupied dwellings in that historical profile were built from 1961 to 1980. That era makes permits, suite status, electrical and plumbing updates, roofing, windows, drainage, sewer condition, foundations and condominium or association documents important address-level questions. Dusko Sremac leads the Real Estate Partners relationship for Marlborough Park, supported by the broader team. Current pricing should reflect the exact site, property form, condition, effective age, parking and immediate surroundings.

Boundary discipline
- Confirm the exact Marlborough Park 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
- 84% 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.
- 7% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1981 to 1990 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
- 5% of occupied private dwellings were reported in the 1991 to 2000 construction cohort; the Census figure does not establish the age of a current listing.
- 2% 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.
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.
