Outdoor routines community signal
Nature and urban forest across Calgary communities
Relative parks, canopy, public-tree density, natural-area records, boundary-clipped Parks habitat and pathway context.
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
Direct park-access blend 28%, canopy 20%, public-tree density 15%, natural-area records 10%, mapped habitat area 12%, habitat-type breadth 5%, pathway network reach 10%.
Mapped green and habitat assets do not establish biodiversity quality, wildlife abundance, public access, maintenance or the view and landscape around an individual property.
Evidence used
This is a direct comparison. The current ingredients include park area and site measures, tree-canopy estimate, public-tree density, natural areas, boundary-clipped Parks habitat area and type breadth, pathway length and sampled reach.
