About this chart

Motorized vehicles registered to owners in the City of Calgary and the City of Edmonton, every type together, each year from 2005 to 2025. Calgary went from 743,767 to 1,109,440 and Edmonton from 492,890 to 763,644. Counted by the owner's address, so a fleet counts where its office is. The published file gives 2010 exactly the same figures as 2009 for both cities.

Businesses with Employees: Calgary vs Edmonton

Business locations with at least one employee in the City of Calgary and the City of Edmonton, from each June release of Statistics Canada's Canadian Business Counts, 2020 to 2026. Calgary had 57,817 in June 2026 and Edmonton 40,152. Statistics Canada advises that Business Counts should not be read as a time series: each release is a separate table from the Business Register, whose methods and classifications change between releases, so a change from one June to the next is not only businesses opening or closing. Compare the two cities within a year more than either city across years. Locations without employees (the self-employed) are not counted.
