That figure comes from 2,260 owner households at the 2021 census. What homes sold for in Ogden isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Alberta. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $525,000. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Calgary as a whole, not for Ogden alone.

Each source sits beside its own median for Alberta’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. No sale stands behind these values: owners named them at the census of May 2021.
