Tuscany grades B for jobs and income
Better than 56% of Canadian towns on three measures together, #223 of 474 in Alberta.
Its strongest measure is household income; its weakest, trip times.
Graded against Canadian towns of 2,500 people or more; less unemployment and a shorter commute count in its favour.
How the grade works
Census 2021 measures, weighed equally against every Canadian town and neighbourhood of 2,500 people or more: the share of residents aged 15 to 64 in work, median household income (2020), the unemployment rate and the average commute. Each becomes a percentile; their average sets the letter.
Median household income in Tuscany: $147,200 in 2020
10 of the 166 other places of 2,500+ in Census Division No. 6 have a higher median. Tuscany’s median is 60% above the middle of Alberta’s towns ($92,250). Read the incomes as 2020’s, before tax: pandemic benefits such as CERB are in them, and they raised many low incomes for that year.

Before tax, 2020: higher than in almost any Canadian town.
On foot, by bike, bus or train: 10% of Tuscany’s commuters
The car takes 86% of commuters here, under the 88% in the middle of Alberta’s towns. By bus, train or subway: 7.3%, against 3.5% in the middle of Canadian towns.

Work for 73% of 15-to-64s in Tuscany
Of the 166 other places of 2,500 people or more in Census Division No. 6, 80 have a smaller share of 15-to-64s in work.
Participation, the share of residents 15 and over working or looking for work, came to 72%. By October 2026, the Labour Force Survey had 67% of the wider area’s adults in work. These are census figures from May 2021, during COVID’s third wave; jobs have recovered since, which the Labour Force Survey shows.

EI claims in Census Division No. 6 run 35% above their 2019 level
Nobody publishes EI beneficiaries for Tuscany alone, so this card uses the figure for Census Division No. 6.
That is about 4 people on EI for every 100 aged 15 to 64 in the division. In the twelve months to August 2026 the number fell by 1%. January 2021 was the busiest month, with 97,600 people on EI, 3.2 times 2019’s average.

What this data can and can’t tell you
What each figure measures for Tuscany, where it comes from, and what it leaves out.
- Trip times. The census asks how long the trip to work usually takes, in bands; our average uses each band’s middle, so it runs a little above Statistics Canada’s timed average.
- Employment Insurance. Beneficiaries of Employment Insurance, month by month, for the census division rather than the town. Many jobless people don’t qualify, so it isn’t an unemployment rate.
- The Labour Force Survey. The most recent unemployment rate on the page comes from this monthly survey, which covers the wider metro area or economic region, not the town.
- In work. Why 15 to 64? Otherwise retirees would pull the rate down in older towns. The census can’t say how old a neighbourhood’s workers are, so the count of people in work takes every age.
- Unemployment. Unemployed people over the labour force (in work or looking), aged 15 and over, on census day.
- Household income. The census median total income of households in 2020, before tax; a neighbourhood’s is estimated from its dissemination areas’ income groups.
- Which towns we compare. Any town of 2,500 or more counts, and so does any city neighbourhood that size; the city as a whole and First Nations reserves don’t. The middle is the median.
- Neighbourhood figures. We add up Tuscany’s dissemination areas for its census figures. Flows between places and timed averages exist only for the whole municipality: see Calgary’s page.
