EDMONTON STATISTICAL REVIEW, 1972-1977 INTRODUCTION Purpose The purpose of this review is to provide members of City Council and the Administration of the City of Edmonton with historical background information on environmental conditions and resource utilization in Edmonton and its surrounding area to assist in the formulation of corporate policies and programs for the City of Edmonton. In addition, this document can also be used to provide interested citizens, businesses and organizations with a consolidation of statistical data on conditions in Edmonton.

Structure The statistical information contained in this document is grouped into two parts. The first part provides information related to the changing demographic and socio-economic environment in Edmonton and Edmonton Metropolitan Area. Although City Council and the City Administration do not have direct control over these factors, they can indirectly influence them to a limited degree by the policies adopted.

The information contained in the first part is further broken down into three sections (Section I-III). Section I deals with demographic factors such as population growth and age structure of the population. Section II discusses economic factors in the areas of output, trade, prices, income, labor, employment, construction and housing. Section III includes such social factors as crimes, traffic conditions and health.

The second part of the document covers resource information in the areas of manpower, finance and land which are at the disposal of the City Council and the City Administration. With these resources the City provides various kinds of

2. municipal services to its citizens and endeavours to create a better living environment through planning, zoning, regulating and other means.

Similarly, the second part is further divided into three sections (Section IVVI). Section IV deals with manpower resources such as the numbers of the City's permanent and temporary employees. Section V discusses the financial resources, operating and capital, available to the City and Section VI provides information in land use and land development.

There are two to four sub-sections within each major section. Each subsection begins with a brief description, followed by tables and maps.

Limitations Although it is our intention to provide as many variables of pertinent information as possible in this review, some information such as land areas by use, gasoline consumption in Edmonton, demand for day care facilities, etc. is not available at present. It will be included in future issues as it becomes available.

Achknowledgements During the preparation of this document, :7e have received full support and cooperation from various departments of the City of Edmonton and other government agencies such as Statistics Canada, Alberta Bureau of Statistics, Edmonton Regional Planning Commission, Edmonton School Boards, University of Alberta, Grant McEwan College, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and Alberta Department of Education. We are grateful for this assistance.

PART ONE

THE EDMONTON AREA ENVIRONMENT

I. DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS

1. Edmonton Sub-region Population

The Edmonton sub-region, defined in Figure I - 1.1, has become a socio-economic entity with a close relationship among its areas. The sub-region population outgrew the Alberta total population, with an average growth rate of 2.7% per year as compared with 2.5% per year for Alberta for the period 1972 - 1977. In other words, it grew 14.4% from 536,040 persons in 1972 to 613,479 persons in 1977. Population for the Edmonton Metropolitan Area increased at a slower rate than the sub-region as a whole, averaging 2.3% per year while population for Edmonton city proper increased at an even slower rate, averaging only 1.3% per year for the 1972 - 1977 period. Although Edmonton's population grew at a slower rate compared with the subregion or the metropolitan area, Edmonton received a larger and larger proportion of the population increase in the sub-region or the metropolitan area. While in 1973 Edmonton received only 8.54% of the total sub-region population increase, by 1977 this proportion increased to 54.36%. Similarly, in 1973 Edmonton's population growth accounted for only 12.22% of the total population increase in the metropolitan area, but by 1977 the proportion increased to 63.87%.

10. I. DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS

2. Edmonton Population Population Growth and Age Structure As described in the previous sub-section, during the five year period of 1972 to 1977, Edmonton's population grew at an average rate of 1.3% per year. The rate was lowest in 1973, an increase of only 0.19% or 835 persons, indicating that the number of persons moving out of the City was greater than the number of persons moving into the City in 1973. By 1976, Edmonton's population growth rate had been in the range of 2%. The average age of Edmonton's population is increasing. For example, the percentage of those aged 14 years and under fell from 29.7% in 1971 to 23.8% in 1976. At the other end of the scale, the percentage of those aged 45 years and over climbed from 22.9% in 1971 to 25.0% in 1976. There was an absolute increase in the number of people 65 years and over of 20.6% from 27,320 persons in 1971 to 32,940 persons in 1976. (See Table 1-2.8.) As shown in Table 1-2.9, the number of live births rose slightly from 7,763 in 1972 to 8,085 in 1977; however, the birth rate per 1,000 population declined slightly from 17.6 in 1972 to 17.1 in 1977. As the death rate was relatively constant, averaging 2,651 deaths per year, the rate of natural increase decreased from 11.8 per 1,000 population in 1972 to 11.3 in 1977. The average natural population increase was 5,166 persons per year.

Population by Ward The four Edmonton wards had nearly equal populations in 1972. However, because of the rapid development in the Mill Woods area, population in Ward IV increased 16.4% during the five year period and its proportion rose to 27.9% in 1977

11. from 26.5% in 1972. On the other hand, population in Ward III declined 0.8% from 108,367 persons in 1972 to 107,464 persons in 1977 with its share decreasing to 22.8% in 1977 from 24.5% in 1972. In the other two wards, the shares remained relatively unchanged. (See Table 1-2.3.) Population by Small Area If we divide the whole City into twelve selected areas and examine the populatinn change during the five year period under study, it can be seen from Figure 1-2.4 that population in the older areas declined while population in the outlined areas increased. The only two exceptions are Areas #1 and #9 in the older areas where population increased slightly. The area that lost the most population was #12 losing 7,810 persons or 10.9% during the five years. The area which had the largest population gain is #11 (Mill Woods) where population rose from 722 persons in 1972 to 15,776 persons in 1977.

Families and Households The family size in Edmonton dropped to 3.3 persons in 1976 from 3.6 persons in 1971, while the household size declined to 3.0 persons in 1976 from 3.3 persons in 1971. The total number of families increased 7.3% from 105,440 families in 1971 to 113,130 families in 1976, and the total number of households rose 18.5% from 131,210 households in 1971 to 155,490 households in 1976. (See Table 1-2.10.)

These figures have been adjusted from the Local Board of Health annual statistics to allow for the difference between the Civic Census Year and the calendar year. (3) Net migration is defined as the difference between in-migration and out-migration. Its figure is obtained by subtracting the natural increase from the total population change.

II. ECONOMIC FACTORS 1. Output and Trade Output The Canadian economy performed well in the early 1970's with a growth rate of 6-7% as measured by the real Gross National Product. However, the economy was greatly influenced by the poor performance of the American and other developed economies caused by the Arabian oil embargo during 1974-1975. The real growth rate in Canada was only slightly over 1% in 1975. Although the economy had recovered to a 4.9% growth in 1976 it declined to only 2.6% growth in 1977. (See Table II-1.1).

The Alberta economy, with the help of its rich energy resources, has been performing much better than the Canadian economy since 1972, resulting in Alberta accounting for a greater percentage of the total national product. The share increased from 8.1% in 1972 to 11.6% in 1977. Since Alberta's population accounted for approximately 8% of Canada's population, the per capita product in Alberta was 42% higher than the Canadian average in 1977, a rise from 7% in 1972. (See Table 11-1.3.)

Private investment in the manufacturing sector in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area accounted for about 42% of Alberta total investment in the sector during the past five years. Similarly, the value of manufacturers' shipments in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area accounted for 40% of Alberta total during the same period. (See Tables 11-1.4 and 11-1.5.)

In 1972, the food and beverages processing industry accounted for the largest percentage nf the total value of manufacturers' shipments in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area. By 1975 the petroleum and coal products industry had taken the lead. This is not only due to increases in the production

of petroleum and coal products, but also due to continuous rises in the prices. The proportion accounted for by the primary metal industry more than doubled from 4.3% in 1972 to 9.9% in 1975. (See Table 11-1.6). Trade Retail sales in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area grew, on the average, by 19% per year during the period 1972-1977; this is one percent higher than the Alberta average. Based on 1975 data, the largest proportion of the Edmonton retail sales of $2,094 million went to automotive products (27.7%), then to general merchandise other than food and beverage (20%), and then to business equipment and supplies. (See Table 11-1.7 and 11-1.8). The percentage of the value of cheques cashed in Edmonton averaged at about 40% of the total value cashed in Alberta during 1972-1977. It grew at a rate of 29.6% per year from $24,487 million in 1972 to $86,211 million in 1977.

36. II. ECONOMIC FACTORS 2. Prices and Income Prices Over the past five years the average consumer price increase in Edmonton was 9%, the third highest in Canada exceeded only by Vancouver and Winnipeg. The average price increase for new houses was the highest (19.2%) among major Canadian cities. (See Tables 11-2.1 and 11-2.3.) In 1974 the prices advanced at the fastest rate, 10.9% for consumer goods and 30.3% for new houses in Edmonton. As of September 1977, while consumer good prices for private transportation, recreation and education, and tobacco and alcohol in Edmonton were among the lowest, prices for other commodities were moderate as compared to those in other Canadian cities. (See Table 11-2.2.)

Income On the income side, Edmonton and Alberta advanced faster than Canada as a whole. In terms of the per capita personal disposable income, both Edmonton and Alberta had an average annual rate of increase of 14% while the Canadian average was 13.4% for the period 1972 - 1977. Edmonton's rate of increase in average weekly wages and salaries for all industries was 11.1%, Alberta's rate 11.8% and Canada's rate 10.9%. Higher wage demand seems to lag one year behind the increase in the consumer prices, as demonstrated by the fact that the largest percentage increase in the consumer prices was in 1974 and the highest rate of increase in the wages and salaries took place in 1975. (See Tables 11-2.4 and 11-2.5.)

42. II. ECONOMIC FACTORS 3. Labor Force and Employment

Employment As displayed in Table 1-3.1, the unemployment rate in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area had increased from 3.9% in 1975 to 4.2% in 1977, and it had risen from 4.1% in 1975 to 4.4% in 1977 in Alberta. On the national scene, the unemployment figure was even more striking, it had jumped to 8.1% in 1977 from 6.9% in 1975.

In terms of employment, Edmonton and Alberta were in a much better position than Canada as a whole. During 1972 - 1977, employment in both Edmonton and Alberta jumped about 6% per annum, whereas in Canada it rose only 2% per annum. This relatively better position for Edmonton and Alberta was made possible by the rich energy resources and the fast development of energy related projects in Alberta.

Labor Force

According to the 1971 labor force survey, the labor force in thP Primnntnn Metropolitan Area is concentrated in the service sectors. For instance, the community, business and personal services accounted for 27.6% of the total labor force, the retail and wholesale trade for 17.3% and the public administration and defence for 10.4%. The manufacturing sector shared only 11.4% of the labor force, a drop from 13.3% in 1961.

II. ECONOMIC FACTORS 4. Construction and Housing

Construction The total value of building permits for construction within the City of Edmonton grew at a rate of 28% per year from $182 million in 1972 to $630 million in 1977. The increase was especially significant in 1974 and 1976 with growth rates of 37% and 56% respectively. Within the total value of $630 million in 1977, $377 million, or 60%, was for residential development and $168 million, or 27%, was for commercial buildings. (See Table 11-4.1.)

Housing Total housing starts within Edmonton City proper fell initially from 6,764 units in 1972 to 3,767 units in 1974 mainly due to the high apartment vacancy rate in the early 1970's. (See Table II -4.2.) However, the apartment vacancy rate dropped suddenly in the second half of 1974 and remained very low thereafter. (See Table 11-4.6) This low vacancy rate, together with a strong demand for single family housing, revitalized housing activities and reversed the downward trend of housing starts. The number of housing starts, therefore, rose substantially to 10,651 units in 1977.

Housing starts within Edmonton City proper accounted for 63.9% of the total housing starts in the Edmonton Metropolitan Area in 1973. The proportion increased consistently reaching 87.3% in 1977.

Based on the assessment records, the total number of single family dwellings increased to 92,287 units in 1977 from 75,245 units in 1972, a growth of 4.2% per year. On the other hand, the total number of multiple family dwellings rose to 77,987 units in 1977 from 64,644 units in 1972, a growth of 3.8% per year. The total number of all dwellings climbed to 170,274 units in 1977 from 139,889 units in 1972, a growth of 4% per year. This rate was three times as high as the population growth rate for the same period. The growth was especially significant in 1977 at a rate of 6.8%

According to 1971 Canada Census statistics, about 53% of dwellings were owner occupied and 47% were tenant occupied in Edmonton in 1971. The percentage distribution had changed in 1976. The owner occupied dwellings had declined to 51% and the tenant occupied dwellings had risen to 49% of total occupied dwellings. The percentage distribution of dwelling units by type in 1977 is displayed in Table 11-4.5. It is shown that single-family dwellings accounted for 54%, apartment buildings for 29%, two-family dwellings for 7%, row housing for 6% and others for 4%.

Space Availability An office space availability survey was taken by Edmonton Business Development Department in December 1977 for the downtown area bounded by 99th Avenue on the south, 105th Avenue on the north, 124th Street on the west and 98th Street on the east. The survey shows that the vacancy rate was 13.2% for commercial office buildings with six stories and over and 8.8% for buildings under six stories, excluding walk-up.

Crimes, Traffic and Fire

Crimes

The total number of crimes committed in Edmonton increased from 49,724 cases in 1972 to 67,641 cases in 1977, an increase of about 6% per annum. Of the total, crimes against property accounted for 59% in 1977; the number increased by 7% per year from 28,812 cases in 1972 to 39,849 cases in 1977. The number of crimes against persons first rose steadily from 4,780 cases in 1972 to 5,306 cases in 1976 and then declined to 5,096 cases in 1977. It should be noted that drug-related crimes nearly doubled in four years, from 1,288 cases in 1973 to 2,533 cases in 1977, a rise of 18% per annum. (See Table III-1.1.)

Traffic

As shown in Table 111-1.2, the number of traffic accidents and violations increased over the past five years. The total reported accidents increased from 14,675 case in 1972 to 20,702 cases in 1975; then dropped to 17,372 cases in 1976 as a result of an increase of the minimum reportable property damage to $350 from $200. Accidents rose again to 18,664 cases in 1977. The total number of accidents as a percentage of the total motor vehicle registrations in Edmonton increased continuously from 5.8% in 1972 to 6.8% in 1975. Total motor vehicle registrations rose steadily from 254,789 in 1972-73 to 321,867 in 1976-77, an average growth rate of 4.7% per annum

Fire

The total number of fire calls has fluctuated over the years, rising from 2,638 calls in 1973 to 2,731 calls in 1974 and then falling to 2,487 calls in 1977. However, service calls and unnecessary calls increased steadily. Cigarette smoking was the principal cause of building fires prior to 1977 when arson or suspected arson became the largest single cause. Arson fires quadrupled in five years from 43 in 1972 to 186 in 1977. (See Table 111-1.4.)

63. III. SOCIAL FACTORS 2. Health and Social Services

Health Heart diseases and cancers were the two principal causes of death in Edmonton during the period 1972-1977. In 1977, deaths caused by heart failure accounted for 45% of the total deaths and cancers for another 21%. The third major category of death was accidents, poisoning and violence, accounting for 11%. (See Table 111-2.1.) Automobile accidental deaths rose from 72 in 1972 to 105 in 1977, increasing from 2.8% to 3.8% of total deaths. Suicides and homicides went up from 88 in 1972 to 113 in 1977, increasing from 3.4% to 4.1% of total deaths. However the infant mortality rate dropped from 1.8% of total births in 1972 to 1.2% in 1977. Illegitimate births increased continuously over the period from 890 or 11.5% of total births in 1972 to 1,204 or 14.9% in 1977.

Social Services The monthly average number of total soci,7 assistance recipients increased around 2% per annum from 11,820 persons in 1974 to 12,290 persons in 1976. Approximately 40% of the total recipients had dependent children. (See Table 111-2.3.)

The total number of day care placements in Edmonton increased from 2,656 persons in 1973 to 3,909 persons in 1977, an increase of 10% per year. Among the total placements of 3,909 persons in 1977, 44% were with government sulsidized day care centers and 67% with non-subsidized centres. (see Table 111-2.4.)

PART TWO

CORPORATE RESOURCES OF THE CITY OF EDMONTON

69. IV. MANPOWER RESOURCES

1. Number of Civic Employees

Number of Employees With the growth in population, area and citizen demand for public services, the size of the civic administration in Edmonton had increased. Table IV-1.1 shows the number of permanent employees of the City of Edmonton by department for the five year period 1972-77. The figures shown are the numbers of positions filled as of last payroll of the year. The number of permanent employees for all municipal departments, increased at a faster rate than the growth of population. The rate of increase for the permanent employees excluding utility departments was 6.8% per year, from 3,695 persons in 1972 to 5,140 persons in 1977. The number of permanent employees for all utility departments grew at a higher rate, 10.2% per year from 3,087 persons in 1972 to 5,015 persons in 1977. The combined number of permanent employees for all departments increased from 6,782 persons in 1972 to 10,155 persons in 1977, a growth of 8.4% per annum.

Table IV-1.2 displays the number of temporary employees for the same period. The number fluctuated for most of the departments during the period with the total number decreasing in 1975 and 1976.

Total Man Years Measured in man years, the total manpower strength of the City increased from 7,915 man years in 1972 to 11,063 man years in 1977, a growth of 6.9% per year. The growth in manpower strength in the municipal departments including Edmonton Transit, Storm Sewers and Solid Waste, averaged 6.7% per annum from

Compiled from data provided by Edmonton Personnel Department. (1)Figures shown are bi-weekly averages of the numbers of positions filled. (2)Including Edmonton Transit, Storm Sewers and Solid Waste.

(3) One man year is defined as a person working 260 days a year and 8 hours a day. If a person works for 6 months (130 actual working days) that is the equivalent of 1/2 man year.

(4) The total number is the bi-weekly average of the year and excludes the Local Board of Health. This number, therefore, does not agree with those in Tables IV-1.1 and IV-1.2.

V. FINANCIAL RESOURCES 1. Operating Revenues Composition of Operating Revenues As shown in Table V-1.1, property taxes were the largest single source of revenue for Edmonton municipal operations, rising from 31% of total revenue in 1972 to 36% in 1974 then declining to 33% in 1977. The total amount of property taxes increased by 17.7% per annum from $29.3 million in 1972 to $66.3 million in 1977. The second largest source was grants from other levels of government, constituting approximately 14% of total revenue for the last three years. Excluding grants in-lieu-of taxes, these grants rose from $13.7 million in 1972 to $28.2 million in 1977, a growth of 15.4% per annum. Utility contributions (gross) were the third major source, rising from $15.6 million in 1972 to $21.9 million in 1977, an increase of 7% per year. However, as a percentage of total revenue this category declined substantially from 16.6% in 1972 to 10.8% in 1977. Revenue from business taxes (excluding the Convention Centre levy) almost quadrupled during the five year period from $4.9 million in 1972 to $18.1 million in 1977. The other revenue with a significant increase was the gas franchise tax. Because of the continuous rise in gas prices, revenue from the gas franchise tax climbed more than fourfold from $1.5 million in 1972 to $6.7 million in 1977. Property Assessment and Taxes The total property assessment within the City boundaries amounted to $2,552 million in 1977,0f which 76% or $1,939 million was taxable. The distribution of the total taxable assessment among various types of properties was 46.2% for single family residential, 20.2% for multiple family residential and 33.6% for non-residential property. Viewed from another perspective, land accounted for 51.1% of the total taxable assessment and buildings and improvements for 48.9%.

85. After the last general assessment in 1973 the taxable assessment value grew, on the average, 5.4% per annum from $1,572 million in 1973 to $1,939 million in 1977. This rate of growth was 31/2 times the rate of population growth for the same period. As a result, the per capita taxable assessment rose from $3,553 in 1973 to $4,113 in 1977. However, there was nearly a balanced growth between residential properties and non-residential properties so that the percentage distribution between the two groups of properties remained unchanged. (See Table V-1.2.)

In the absence of a general assessment, any increase in the total assessment represents real growth, because it either comes from new construction of buildings or from new additions or improvements to the existing buildings. As the assessment value for most of the existing individual properties remained constant after 1973, a change in the mill rate would bring about the same degree of change in the property tax for the ratepayers. On a per dwelling unit basis, the average assessment remained at approximately $9,600 for single family dwellings and at $5,100 for multiple family dwellings during 1974 - 1977. In regard to property taxes, the composite municipal mill rate which is the average municipal tax rate for all properties, increased at an average rate of 11.7% or 3.09 mills per annum from 22.27 mills in 1973 to 34.62 mills in 1977. The mill rate for the supplementary school levy rose at a rate of 22.3% or 3.42 mills per year from 11.09 mills in 1973 to 24.78 mills in 1977. The School Foundation Levy was removed from residential properties in 1974.

As a result of the 1973 general assessment, the total mill rate dropped from 78.83 mills in 1972 to 54 mills in 1973 for all properties. In 1974, a split mill rate policy was introduced by the City for the municipal levy. This policy applied a lower rate to single family residential properties than

The total mill rate, therefore, became 52.22 mills for single family dwellings, 63.03 mills for multiple family dwellings and 91.93 mills for non-residential properties in 1977. (See Table V-1.3.) The average tax per dwelling unit for all purposes increased at an annual rate of 16% for single family dwellings and 14% for multiple family dwellings over the period 1974 - 1977. However, for municipal purposes only, they increased at a lower annual rate, i.e., 9.8% for single family dwellings and 9.1% for multiple family dwellings for the same period. (See Table V - 1.4.) According to a property tax survey conducted by the Corporate Policy Planning Office of the City of Edmonton in the fall of 1977, a house with a finished floor area of 1,000 square feet, five years old, no garage and on a 50' x 120' lot was assessed total property taxes, net of homeowner grants, of $309 in Medicine Hat, $400 in Lethbridge, $486 in Calgary, $507 in Saskatoon, $512 in Edmonton, $563 in Regina, $639 in Vancouver, $677 in St. Albert and $752 in Winnipeg. The effective mill rate in Edmonton, as measured by the net property taxes divided by the current market value of the house, was 8.13 mills, with Medicine Hat, Lethbridge and Calgary being lower. (See Table V-1.5.)

Business Assessment and Taxes Edmonton's business tax rates, excluding for the Convention Centre, vary from 6% to 20% depending on type of business carried on, however, the average tax rate has remained about 11% over the past five years. Any change in the total business tax is attributable to a change in the assessment base. The business assessment grew at a rate of 30% per year from $44 million in 1972 to $164 in 1977, however, the number of business establishments increased only at a rate of 3.9% per year from 9,435 firms in 1972 to 11,451 firms in 1977. The difference between the assessment growth and the growth in the number

of businesses was accounted for by the increase in the rental value of commercial space. (See Table V-1.6.)

Grants The structure of grants from other levels of government changed substantially over the period 1972 - 1977, with the shifting of the importance from unconditional grants to conditional grants. The proportion of unconditional grants declined from 68% of the total grants in 1972 to 35% in 1977. Only 4% - 7% of the total grants came directly from the Federal Government and the remaining from the Provincial Government general revenues. (See Table V-1.7.)

On a per capita basis, conditional grants increased from $10 in 1972 to $39 in 1977, while unconditional grants fell from $21 in 1972 to $14 in 1973 and then increased to $21 in 1977. Grants from the Federal Government increased gradually from $1 to $3, whereas grants from the Provincial Government rose from $23 in 1973 to $57 in 1977. Combining these two, the per capita grant increased from $24 in 1973 to $60 in 1977, an increase of 25.7% per year.

Utility Contribution As shown in Table V-1.9, of the utilities, Edmonton Power made the largest contribution. However, its share declined continuously from 61% of the total contribution in 1972 to 45% in 1977. 'edmonton telephones' was the second largest contributor with its share rising gradually from 23.5% in 1972 to 32.3% in 1977. The contribution by Edmonton Water remained in the range of 15%. The Edmonton Municipal Airport did not make any contribution to the City by means of return on investment prior to 1976, although it paid property taxes to the City. Similarly, Edmonton Sanitary Sewer System made no contribution in terms of return on investment and only started to pay property taxes in 1977.

Effective January 1, 1977, a new utility fiscal policy was implemented in the City of Edmonton, requiring each utility to make a 15% return on the City's equity investment with 9% of the return going to the City's general fund and the remaining 6% being retained in the Utility's reserve fund for future capital expansion.

* *

A general assessment took place in 1973 The School Foundation Levy was removed from all residential properties in 1974. Prior to 1974 a uniform mill rate was applied to all types of properties for both municipal and school purposes, but the single family dwellings enjoyed preferential assessment treatment. In 1974, the Provincial Government removed the preferential assessment treatment from the single family dwellings and allowed municipalities to adopt a split mill rate policy. In order to restore the preferential treatment, Edmonton utilized a two-tier mill rate policy in the same year, applying a lower mill rate to the single family dwellings than to other properties for municipal purposes. However, a single rate was still applied to all properties for school purposes. The two-tier split became a three-tier split in 1975 and after. In the meantime, the gap of the split was widened every year.

99. V. FINANCIAL RESOURCES

2. Capital Financing As shown in Table V-2.1, capital funds expended increased substantially to $294 million in 1977 from $90 million in 1972, an increase of 26.7% per annum. The growth was particularly significant in 1975 with an increase of 48% over the previous year.

Debenture Borrowings Debentures and mortgages were the principal sources of funds, contributing more than half of the total during the period 1972 - 1977, except in the year 1973. The total debenture borrowings jumped fourfold in four years from $41 million in 1973 to $160 million in 1977. In 1977, approximately 22% of the total debenture borrowings were tax-supported and 78% were self-liquidating.

During the five year period 1972 - 1977, the total outstanding debt increased from $364 million in 1972 to $802 million in 1977, a growth of 17% per year. The tax-supported portion of the total outstanding debt as a percentage of the total taxable property assessment rose gradually from 9.0% in 1973 to 10.2% in 1977 while the self-liquidating almost doubled from 15.9% in 1973 to 31.3% in 1977. As a result, the combined total debt increased from 24.9% in 1973 to 41.3% in 1977. On a per capita basis, the total outstanding debt increased sharply from $824 in 1972 to $1,700 in 1977. The self-liquidating portion more than doubled in the five years from $529 in 1972 to $1,280 in 1977 and the tax-supported portion increased from $295 per capita in 1972 to $420 in 1977. (See Table V-2.3.)

Edmonton had the highest per capita debt of the major western Canadian cities in 1977 followed, in order, by Calgary, Winnipeg and Vancouver. However,

100. Calgary had the highest per capita tax-supported debt, followed, in order, by Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver. The same ranking applies to the per capita debt service charge or to the debt service charge as a percentage of personal disposable income. (See Table V-2.4.) Capital Grants The second largest source of capital funds was grants from the two other levels of government. These grants rose steadily from $5.8 million in 1972 to $46.2 million in 1977 and their proportion of total capital sources increased from 6% to 16%. If all municipal services are grouped into the eight functions classified in Section IV, Sub-section 1 and the capital grants are distributed to these functions, it can be seen that 47% of the grants were for the Transportation Services function and 41% for the Recreation and Cultural Services function in 1977. The other functions together accounted for only 12%. On a per capita basis, total capital grants increased from $12 in 1972 to $74 in 1977. In 1977, $35 went to Transportation Services, $30 to Recreation and Cultural Services, $6 to Environmental Development Services, $2 to Environmental Health Services, and $1 to Protective Services. (See Table V-2.5.) Twenty-two percent of capital grants came from the Federal Government and 78% from the Provincial Government in 1972. This percentage distribution remained unchanged in 1977.

V. FINANCIAL RESOURCES

3. Operating Expenditures Total Expenditure As shown in Table V-3.1, the total operating expenditure for municipal services, including Edmonton Transit, grew at a rate of 17% per year from $90 million in 1972 to $197 million in 1977. The growth was particularly substantial in 1975 and 1976, with a rate of approximately 20% per year. The total expenditure for utility services increased at a slightly higher rate, rising from $57 million in 1972 to $164 million in 1977, a growth of 24% per year.

The Fiscal Services function (i.e., the debt service charges) absorbed 24% of the total municipal operating expenditure in 1972. This percentage declined gradually to about 18% in 1977. If the fiscal services expenditure is allocated to other municipal functions, a distribution of the total operating expenditure among the functions is shown in Table V-3.3. It can be seen from this table that Transportation Services accounted for the largest share (about one-third) of the total expenditure. Next was Protective Services (27% - 30%), followed by Recreation and Cultural Services (15% - 16%). The smallest share went to Environmental Development Services.

Per Capita Expenditure On a per capita basis, the total municipal expenditure doubled from $203 in 1972 to $418 in 1977, an increase of 15.5% per annum. On the other hand, the total utility services expenditure jumped by 22% per annum from $128 per capita in 1972 to $349 in 1977. The fiscal services expenditure rose from $49 per capita in 1972 to $75 in 1977, a 9% growth per year. (See Table V-3.4).

Including debt service charges, the per capita expenditure for most of the functions doubled over the five-year period rising from $65 in 1972 to $138

V. FINANCIAL RESOURCES

4. Capital Expenditures

Total Expenditure The total capital expenditure including utility services grew at a rate of 29% per year from $75 million in 1972 to $267 million in 1977, reflecting the fast growth of the City and the high demand for new facilities. With respect to the distribution of the capital expenditures, Utility Services accounted for the largest portion, 43% - 58%. The second largest portion went to Transportation Services, sharing 17% - 26%; the third was Environmental Health Services with a share of 9% - 16% followed by Recreation and Cultural Services with a share of 4% - 12% and Environmental Development Services with a share of 6% - 11%. The proportions shared by other functions were very insignificant.

Per Capita Expenditure On a per capita basis, the total capital expenditure jumped from $170 in 1972 to $566 in 1977, a growth of 27% per year. The per capita capital expenditure increased from $81 in 1972 to $241 in 1977 for Utility Services; from $45 in 1972 to $142 in 1977 for Transportation Services; from $15 in 1972 to $53 in 1977 for Environmental Health Services; from $14 in 1972 to $50 in 1977 for Environmental Development Services from $11 in 1972 to $66 in 1977 for Recreation and Cultural Services.

117. VI. LAND RESOURCES

1. Land Use

As a result of a number of annexations, the land area of the City has more than doubled since January 1961, increasing from 57.63 square miles in 1961 to the present 123.45 square miles. (See Table VI-1.1.) Since information on the variety of categories of land use in terms of square miles or acres is not available yet, only limited uses are discussed here.

Industrial Land At December 31, 1977, about 5,679 net acres of industrial land inside the City limits were vacant. By zoning category, 8.2% was in 14-1 zone, 11.8% in 14-2 zone, 4.6% in 14-3 zone and 75.4% in Ag-MR1. However, only 30% of the total vacant industrial land was either fully or partially serviced and the remaining 70% was unserviced. (See Table VI-1.2.) Park Land As provided in Table VI-1.3, as of December 31, 1977, Edmonton had 8,424 acres of parkland and 4,342 acres of other open space. Among the total parkland and open space, river valley and ravine parkland accounted for 42%, public school board land for 16%, neighbourhood parks-playgrounds for 11%, district parks and athletic grounds for 8%, separate school board land for 7% and developed roadway landscaping for 5%. As to the distribution of the parkland, the southwest district had the largest area of parkland (32%), followed in order by the southeast district (23%), the west district (21%), the north district (15%) and the central district (9%).

School Land Due to continuously declining school enrollment, the utilization rate of school buildings, as defined by the actual number of students as a percentage of

123. VI. LAND RESOURCES

2. Land Development In 1975 the City serviced land for 3,692 single family and 3,240 multiple family units for a total of 6,932 family units. The amount of servicing increased substantially in 1977 to 5,139 single family unit lots and land for 6,629 multiple family units for a total of 11,768 family units. However, the population of Edmonton grew by only 5,944 persons in 1975 and 9,915 persons in 1977. These figures show an interesting phenomenon that the number of newly serviced family unit lots, or the number of housing starts (See Table 11-4.3) was more than the population growth. The contributing factor to this phenomenon is decreasing household size. The decline in average household size in Edmonton is partly a result of the increasing divorce rate and the separation of grownup children from parents but is also due to increasing residential development (non-apartment, country residence) beyond the City boundaries drawing the larger family units from Edmonton. As shown in Table V1-2.2, as of December 31, 1977, more than half of the land in the outline plan areas designated for residential development has been serviced. Land servicing for industrial uses was 453 net acres in 1975, 336 net acres in 1976 and 579 net acres in 1977.

The total vacant serviced land at year end has been increasing continuously from, 7,093 dwelling unit lots in 1973 to 11,708 dwelling unit lots in 1977 and from 572 net acres of industrial land in 1973 to 1,659 net acres in 1977. (See Table V1-2.3 .)
