Connected daily life community signal

Pathway access and reach across Calgary communities

Relative mapped pathway and trail coverage, combining network extent, sampled reach and City pedestrian-connection assets across the official community boundary.

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

Mapped length density 20%, total mapped length 10%, nearest mapped pathway 15%, boundary share within 250 m 20%, 90% reach distance 10%, City pedestrian-network density 15%, pedestrian-connection density 10%.

This is a straight-line geometry comparison, not a walking-time, route-continuity, accessibility, maintenance, comfort or safety score. The City pathway and pedestrian-network layers do not represent every ordinary sidewalk.

Evidence used

This is a direct comparison. The current ingredients include City pathways and trails, City pedestrian-network assets, official community boundaries, mapped line length, pedestrian-connection density, nearest-pathway distance, reproducible boundary sample, 250 m and 90% reach measures.

These examples come from the stronger end of the measured-support range and are shown alphabetically. The score applies only to this named lens and is not an overall neighbourhood ranking.
