Grocery and market access across Calgary communities
Relative proximity and nearby choice of current grocery and market records in the City business-licence dataset.
This page compares one public-data signal at a time. It is a shortlist tool rather than an overall ranking, and every leading record links to a full community profile with the underlying evidence and local context.

Published formula
Nearest mapped grocery or market proximity 40%, current licence records within 1 km 35%, and records within 2 km 25%.
Distances are straight-line from the official community point, not walking or driving routes. Category matching uses City licence types and transparent trade-name rules; a licence record does not establish hours, inventory, affordability, accessibility, quality, continued operation or a complete directory of every food retailer.
Evidence used
This is a direct comparison. The current ingredients include current non-home-based City business licences, grocery and market category rules, nearest-record proximity, 1 km and 2 km access rings.
