WEST
Sits in the Northwest.
Calgary divides naturally along its NW / NE / SW / SE compass. Each quadrant carries its own grain. The dot on the right shows where Spruce Cliff sits in relation to downtown and the other 270 communities.
A west‑side community with relatively affordable housing, modest school presence, three parks including two regional sites, and a pronounced recent drop in crime.

Each line is one year. The most-recent year is drawn in prairie-blue; earlier years fade through the blue-sky spectrum toward pale-sky. Hover for quarterly totals.
Source: Calgary Police Service. Most-serious-violation methodology; domestic violence excluded. From 2024-12, figures come from the Calgary Police Service, which rounds counts between 1 and 5 to 2 for privacy. Earlier figures are exact counts from the City of Calgary Open Data Portal. Small numbers are therefore not directly comparable across that date.
Each cell counts reported crime incidents in that month — lighter shades read as quieter, darker as busier. Blank cells are months with no data on record, not months without crime. Hover a cell for the exact total.
