2,720 owner households answered the census question on value in 2021. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Alberta, so nothing here says what Woodbine’s homes actually sold for.

Behind assessed values, values by property type and building permits sits data gathered across the city of Calgary, with Woodbine one part of it.
