By the numbers
Riverbend at a glance
Population and dwelling counts: City of Calgary civic census, 2019 — the most recent civic census published. Current properties: the City’s property assessment roll. That is the up-to-date count, but it counts titles rather than households — each condominium unit is its own title, while a rental apartment building is a single title however many suites it holds. In newer, mostly-owned communities the two numbers track closely; in older communities with rental blocks the roll sits below the census count for that reason. Sector: City of Calgary community district boundaries.
The community
About Riverbend
Fun facts: Twenty-two archaeological sites have been found in Riverbend, and the oldest is about 4,500 years old. A 2,500-year-old bison roasting pit was found at Carburn Park.
Riverbend is in SE Calgary, east of the Bow River and named for a bend in it. Development began in the early 1980s, and nearly every street starts with "River," like Rivervalley, Riverglen and Riverview.

Things to do: Take the City's self-guided walking tour of Carburn Park. Skate on the Carburn pond rink in winter. Cross the Eric Harvie Bridge to the Sue Higgins off-leash park. Ride the Bow River pathway. Go to the community's Fall Fair. Pick up supplies at Riverbend Hardware.
