Data Sources & Methodology

Primary sourceAlberta Regional Dashboard

Available data — Provincial indicators only (no direct municipal API)

Provincial overlay — Alberta Regional Dashboard (regionaldashboard.alberta.ca) provides 54 socioeconomic indicators for all ~340 Alberta municipalities. Updated daily, cached 24 hours.

How data is collected — Municipal ArcGIS/Socrata endpoints are queried directly via REST APIs. Each municipality uses different field names for the same concepts (e.g. assessed value might be called TASS, assessed_value, ASSESSED_VALUE, or Total_Assessed_Value). We normalize these into a consistent schema. Regional dashboard data is fetched from the Government of Alberta's open data API and falls back to PostgreSQL snapshots during upstream outages.

Note: No public ArcGIS assessment endpoint — regional dashboard indicators only
