CENTRE
Sits in the Centre.
Calgary divides naturally along its NW / NE / SW / SE compass. Each quadrant carries its own grain. The dot on the right shows where West Hillhurst sits in relation to downtown and the other 270 communities.
West Hillhurst appears as a centre community with relatively high residential assessments, a modest park system that includes a regional park, and two schools (junior high and senior high) on site. Crime incidents have fallen sharply, and a community centre provides local services.

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.
