Where Leduc sits in published building-permit figures for July 2026.
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 2026, Leduc sits at rank 63 of 125. 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.
Connectivity · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Construction · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Composite · OpenStats
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). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, 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.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Safety · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Statistics Canada Crime Severity Index (Table 35-10-0026-01). Rank 1 is highest CSI (worse). Values are CMA where a metro match exists, otherwise provincial CSI. Hometown pages label the grain.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by municipal drinking-water hardness (mg/L as CaCO₃). Hardness changes slowly; the atlas vintage is carried across panel years and flagged when static for more than two years.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Water · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by reported lead (µg/L) on the OpenStats water atlas. Carried across panel years until annual municipal report panels are ingested.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Health · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by Health Canada survey mean indoor radon (Bq/m³). Rank 1 is the highest mean. Decade panel years without a new survey carry the CMA survey vintage forward; they are not annual retests.
10 editions · 2016–2025
sports · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by weighted count of documented local teams (pro, junior, university, high-school hubs). Rank 1 = deepest documented sports footprint among covered seed cities. Not a claim about on-field success. See sports methodology for weights and gaps.
Single edition · 2025
Only one published edition places Leduc in this study so far. Open the edition for method notes and the full table.
Growth · OpenStats
OpenStats
Cities ranked by year-over-year population growth from Statistics Canada annual CSD estimates (Table 17-10-0155-01). Rank 1 is fastest growth. A few places without a clean CSD match use a provincial-path estimate anchored to seed population.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Property tax · OpenStats
OpenStats
Municipalities ranked by residential mill rate. Rank 1 is the highest rate. Published municipal years are used when available; gaps are interpolated or follow the provincial median path so the tax pillar moves year to year for every city.
10 editions · 2016–2025
Hazards · OpenStats
OpenStats
Communities ranked by NRCan peak ground acceleration (higher = stronger shaking hazard). Rank 1 is highest PGA. The seismic model is multi-year; values are carried across the City Score panel and flagged as static until NRCan publishes a new generation.
