Frequently asked questions

What is the average assessed property value in Empire Park?

The City of Edmonton's most recent residential property assessment shows an average assessed value of $165,963 for Empire Park — in the lower-than-median band citywide. Property assessment reflects ownership costs, not rent; actual monthly rent varies by unit type, building, and availability.

How is transit in Empire Park?

Empire Park has 31 ETS (Edmonton Transit Service) stops inside the neighborhood polygon and 58 stops total within a 400m walkshed (5-minute walk of the boundary). Spread over the 3.296 km² that walkshed covers, that is 17.59 stops per km², for a transit sub-score of 100/100 against a saturation of 17 stops/km². The score uses the density rather than the raw count so that a large neighborhood is not credited for stops nobody can walk to from any one address.

What is walkable from Empire Park?

Within 1 km of the neighborhood we count 16 parks, 11 schools, 3 recreation facilities, and 0 attractions — 30 walkable points of interest in total, or 3.52 per km² across the 8.521 km² that walkshed covers. That density gives an amenities sub-score of 78/100.

How walkable is Empire Park?

Empire Park has 76 road intersections across 1.07 km² — a density of 71.04 intersections per km². That drives a walkability sub-score of 32/100, benchmarked against a saturation of 220 intersections/km² (dense routable grid). Intersection density is a standard proxy for walkable block size.

How much green space does Empire Park have?

About 13% of Empire Park's land area is covered by parks (0.143 km² of park inside a 1.07 km² neighborhood, based on the City of Edmonton parks dataset). That produces a green space sub-score of 53/100, benchmarked against 25% coverage as saturation — neighborhoods above that are effectively park-first environments with residential woven through.

Is Empire Park a good place to rent?

Rentvoy's composite rating for Empire Park is 67/100, blending walkshed transit (25%), walkable amenities (25%), walkability from intersection density (20%), green space coverage (20%), and safety (10%, neutral placeholder pending EPS crime data). Individual priorities vary — use the rating breakdown to see which factors align with your needs.

Data transparency

Rentvoy's Empire Park rating is deterministic — every figure on this page comes from the City of Edmonton Open Data Portal and is recomputed when the underlying data refreshes. No subjective weighting is applied on top of the published formula.

Why densities, not counts: transit and amenity sub-scores divide by the area their walkshed actually covers. Counting alone would rank a neighborhood highly for being large — a 400 m walkshed around a 5 km² polygon sweeps up three times the bus stops of one around a 1.6 km² polygon, for exactly the same walk from any front door. The raw counts are still printed above, because they are the honest answer to "how many are there"; the score answers "how close together".

What's not in the score yet: Edmonton Police Service publishes neighborhood crime dashboards but does not expose a machine-readable API at the neighborhood level, so our safety sub-score holds a neutral 50 placeholder rather than scrape HTML. This is called out on every neighborhood page so readers can factor it in. When EPS publishes an open JSON or CSV feed we can re-read on every refresh, we'll replace the placeholder and regenerate every page in a single ingest pass.

What property value means here: The average assessment figure is an ownership-cost proxy, not rent. It's included as context because expensive-to-own neighborhoods typically rent higher, but actual rent in Empire Park varies widely by building, unit size, and availability. Live listings will always reflect the real number.
