Its 1,370 households average 2.4 people against Calgary’s 2.6 — 27% are one-person households and 20% have four or more people. Of 940 census families, 82% are couple families, with married couples with children representing 37%; one-parent families account for 18%.
Ownership & the housing mix
Housing tenure runs 72% owner to 28% renter, above Calgary’s 69/31 split. The dwelling mix is led by single-detached (65%), row-house (14%), low-rise apartment (12%). It is an established community — 84% of dwellings were built before 1981, so vintage, renovation history, and mechanical updates matter when comparing homes. Condition data shows 90% of dwellings need only regular maintenance or minor repairs, and 97% of households are suitable for the number of residents.
Shelter costs & income
Median monthly shelter costs were $1,400 for owned dwellings and $1,250 for rented, versus Calgary’s $1,720 and $1,350. About 19% of households spent 30% or more of income on shelter (Calgary: 23%). Median household income was $90,000 in 2020 against $98,000 city-wide.
Education & work
Among residents 15 and over, 58% hold a post-secondary credential and 33% hold a university degree at bachelor level or above, versus 61% and 36% across Calgary. The labour force participation rate was 65%, employment 58%, and unemployment 11%. Top industries: Retail trade (11%); Health care and social assistance (10%); Professional, scientific and technical services (10%). Top occupation groups: Sales and service occupations (24%); Business, finance and administration occupations (19%); Natural and applied sciences and related occupations (15%).
Getting to work
77% of commuters drive, 9% use public transit, and 2% walk (2% cycle) — against Calgary’s 77% driving, 9% transit, and 4% walking. Commute times: 25% under 15 minutes, 47% at 15–29 minutes, and 22% at 30–44 minutes.
Languages, newcomers & mobility
87% of residents speak English most often at home (Calgary: 75%), with Spanish and Filipino) the most common non-official home languages. In 2021, 21% of residents were immigrants, compared with 33% across Calgary — neutral demographic context from the census. On mobility, 7% of residents had moved in the year before the census and 31% within five years (Calgary: 42%) — a read on how settled the community is and how much resale turnover to expect.
What it means for buyers & sellers
Taken together, the census shows an established, mixed community — useful long-term context for weighing Westgate against its neighbours, alongside the live market data higher on this page.

Westgate FAQ
There is no official ranking of Westgate agents, so a claim to be the best is an opinion. Judge on whether they have sold on these streets, whether they can explain how they build a comparable set in a community where very little is listed, and whether the price comes from sold data rather than from the neighbours’ asking prices.
Ask them which blocks are a genuine walk to the station and which only sound like it, and what that is worth. Ask too how they would price a bungalow that a builder might buy versus one an owner would keep — that is the real fork here.
Ask what your home will be competing with this month, which sold comparables sit behind the recommended price, and whether the buyer they are targeting is an owner or a builder, because the two respond to different marketing. Confirm in writing that under Alberta’s designated agency model the individual REALTOR® represents you.
Westgate is one of west Calgary's best-value 1950s communities — a small, mature-treed bungalow pocket with the 45 Street CTrain station at its edge, Westgate School inside the community, and an infill wave steadily renewing its housing stock. It suits first-time buyers, commuters, renovators, and infill buyers.
By west-side standards, genuinely — Westgate's overall 12-month median sold price is around $707,000, with detached homes near $725,000. Condos and original bungalows provide the entries, while new semi-detached and detached infills reach past $1.3 million. The wide spread means community averages need reading by product type.
Original and renovated 1950s bungalows on generous lots, a growing set of semi-detached and detached infills, and condo options near the corridors — three markets sharing one small grid, so comparables need careful matching.
Yes — the 45 Street station on the Blue Line sits at the community's edge, walkable from most of it, with downtown about 20 minutes by train. A walk-to-LRT bungalow neighbourhood is rare currency in Calgary.
Yes — Westgate School (CBE) sits inside the community, Holy Name is minutes away, and Ernest Manning High School is about seven minutes. The community association stays active, with events like the annual clean-up. Verify designations before purchasing.
About 15 minutes by car via Bow Trail or 17 Avenue, and roughly 20 minutes by CTrain from the 45 Street station — one of the shorter commutes among west-side bungalow communities.
Yes, and Westgate sits inside the City's Westbrook Communities Local Area Plan — a 30-year growth framework — so infill on the bungalow lots is active, with more density expected over time near the station and 17 Avenue.
Land value, construction, and comparables: original bungalows trade on their lots, a new build could rise next door on any block, and the three overlapping markets make careful comparison essential. The upside is a walk-to-train location that keeps demand steady.
