The community holds 1,455 residents across 442 properties.

Who Lives in Pump Hill
Pump Hill holds 1,455 residents across 442 properties. The community has a well-established resident mix with a substantial senior share — around 36% of residents are aged 65 or older, one of the higher senior shares in the SW and reflecting the community's two-phase build history and the long tenure of many original buyers who have aged in place. Household incomes have historically tracked well above the citywide median, in line with the community's large-lot housing and reservoir-adjacent position. Rental housing runs around 28%, moderate for a mostly-detached SW community. For a similar SW community with a comparable long-tenure owner-occupied mix, the Haysboro profile covers the immediate east neighbour across 14 Street SW, and the Bel-Aire profile covers a similar SW Glenmore Reservoir-adjacent peer with a related demographic profile.

Living in Pump Hill
Housing is dominated by single-family detached homes on large SW suburban lots, with a mixed share of condos and townhomes on the collector streets — around 22% of buildings are multi-family. Renter share runs around 28%, moderate for a mostly-detached SW community. Interior streets follow the curvilinear pattern typical of late-1960s and 1970s SW build-out with mature landscaping across most blocks, reflecting the community’s two-phase build history from the Palliser era through the 1991 distinct-community designation. The Glenmore Reservoir on the north edge separates Pump Hill from the wider North Glenmore Park corridor beyond; 14 Street SW on the east edge separates the community from Haysboro across the seam; Southland Drive on the south edge separates it from Southwood; and 19 Street SW on the west edge separates the community from the wider Bayview and Palliser area. There is no CTrain station inside Pump Hill; the Heritage Red Line CTrain station sits east across 14 Street SW in Haysboro — a short drive from most interior blocks. For a similar SW community immediately east across 14 Street SW with a comparable build vintage, the Haysboro profile is the closest neighbour reference; for a similar SW Glenmore Reservoir-adjacent peer with a comparable owner-occupied profile, the Bel-Aire profile is the closer reference on reservoir-adjacent character.
Things to do in Pump Hill
The Glenmore Reservoir along the community’s north boundary is one of Calgary’s largest urban water bodies — sailing, rowing, walking, and cycling infrastructure along the reservoir loop pathway is a short walk from most northern blocks. Heritage Park along the reservoir immediately north across 90 Avenue SW is one of Canada’s largest living-history museums with heritage buildings, a working steam locomotive, and pathway connections along the reservoir. Retail is a short drive rather than inside the interior blocks: the Southland Drive corridor south carries additional daily-services retail, and the wider Chinook Centre retail corridor sits east across the wider inner-SW area. Schools inside Pump Hill are established: Nellie McClung Elementary and John Ware Junior High on the public Calgary Board of Education side, and St. Benedict Elementary on the Calgary Catholic School District side. Any specific business inside Pump Hill is easiest to find through the Pump Hill business directory, which pulls current City of Calgary business-licence records.
The Pump Hill real-estate read
Pump Hill’s average assessed value sits at $1.5M, well above the citywide $732K and reflecting the community’s large-lot detached housing on the Glenmore Reservoir corridor. Values rose 13.4% year-over-year against the citywide 15.2% pace, tracking the broader Calgary pace during the current cycle. Building activity is moderate: 36 permits filed since 2024, weighted toward renovation and infill on the large-lot detached blocks. The community’s average build year sits around 1982, consistent with the two-phase build history from the late 1960s through the early 1990s designation. On safety, disorder runs at 44 events per 1,000 residents against the citywide baseline of 54 per 1,000. Year-over-year, the community’s disorder rate held roughly steady compared with the year before. For a same-value SW community with a comparable large-lot detached profile, the Bel-Aire profile is the closest reference on reservoir-adjacent character; for the immediate east neighbour across 14 Street SW, the Haysboro profile is the closer reference on tenure mix.
Common Questions About Pump Hill
Why are there two average values on this page?
The page shows two related but distinct figures because they come from two different official City of Calgary datasets with different aggregation methods. The Average Property Assessment (in the snapshot at the top of the page and in the "vs Calgary Average" card) is drawn from the City's live current-year assessment feed, using a broad aggregation across all residential parcels. The Year-End Assessment Roll figures in the Property Values chart and table below come from a separate dataset that captures each year's official year-end roll, using a narrower per-year methodology. Both are official data — the small difference between them is normal and reflects the different aggregation windows. For an at-a-glance current value, use the Average Property Assessment; for authoritative year-over-year trends, use the Assessment Roll.
