What pays for it
Shares of revenue, town and province.
At 45%, property taxes count for more of the revenue than the 44% seen across the province. At $3,528 per resident, Edmonton council’s $4.4 billion of long-term debt is more than the $745 median.

Edmonton council spent $3,085 per resident in 2024, against a median of $3,457 among Alberta’s municipalities. More goes to roads and transit than to anything else: $935 a resident, 30% of all spending.

elections.ab.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
