Leduc sits at City Score rank #73 with a standing of 56%, from 5 of 8 open-data pillars (tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, growth, safety). Missing pillars score at median standing so thin coverage cannot inflate the rank. Rising 62 places versus 2022 (#135 → #73).
Latest owned placements: indoor radon rank #104 of 327 at 114 Bq/m³ survey mean. Full tables and method notes live on each study edition; atlas readings for the same slug open from the topic buttons.
Against the national corpus, Leduc carries a City Score standing of 56% (rank #73 of 343) with 5 of 8 pillars observed. That sits 6 points above the Alberta peer average across 51 ranked cities. Within Alberta, Leduc ranks #9 of 51 on City Score.

Older hometown notes stay on the desk archive (noindex) — this section shows recent highlights only.
Leduc sits on Highway 2 next door to Edmonton International Airport, about fifteen minutes south of Edmonton by the City's own clock. The Black Gold name shows up on Black Gold Drive, the Leduc Black Gold Rodeo at the Leduc Recreation Centre, and the Canadian Energy Museum at the Leduc No. 1 site that still defines how the city talks about 1947. The Leduc Representative covers baseball provincials on the Aileen Faller diamonds and keeps The Leduc Naturalist column for grebes and lake birds.
The Leduc Recreation Centre is the indoor capital: 309,000 square feet of aquatics, arenas, Leduc Co-op Fieldhouse, and fitness under the Live.Leduc registration brand. Beside it, William F. Lede Park stretches more than 200 acres for ball, soccer, rugby, the K9 off-leash area, and the Stone Barn Garden and Cultural Village. Telford Lake ties into the Multiway Trail System with an 8.2-kilometre interpretive loop, boating, and summer dragon boat races that pull regional crowds to the shores.
Culture fills the rest of the week. Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts books theatre and music, the Leduc Arts Foundry runs classes and gallery months, and heritage stops include Dr. Woods House Museum and the Leduc Heritage Grain Elevator. Fred Johns Park and the City Discovery Map help newcomers find green space beyond their own block. The Leduc Farmers' Market sets up at the LRC from mid-May through September. On OpenStats City Score for 2025, Leduc sits at rank 75 of 343. Local framing stays airport corridor, Black Gold calendar, Telford Lake paths, and the LRC.

City Score from 2016–2025 across eight open-data pillars. Individual study placements are listed in the panels below.
Each study below is its own ranking. Where a study has more than one edition for this city, the chart shows standing across those years only.
Safety · OpenStats
Statistics Canada does not publish a police-service Crime Severity Index that OpenStats can match to Leduc without copying a province, CMA, or another city. The safety pillar scores at median standing (50%) on City Score, the same rule used for other missing pillars.
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by household-weighted maximum advertised download (Mbps) from ISED National Broadband Data hex ISP rows, with hex-to-city assignment by population-weighted gravity. The headline 2025 score is the dwelling-weighted mean of per-hex technology ceilings (fibre and cable at 1 Gbps, DSL lower). Household-weighted 50/10 availability (%) is stored on atlas rows as avail_5010_pct. Earlier panel years backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber and availability paths.

OpenStats
Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016-2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0-1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Crime severity uses StatCan police-service CSI only (Tables 35-10-0026-01 and 35-10-0063-01); cities without a police-service match take median standing on the safety pillar. Growth uses StatCan CSD estimates; construction uses verified municipal building-permit value per resident (population field on each city record, 2021 Census vintage); mill rates and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.
