Poverty Awareness and Action
For many, poverty is the inability to maintain a standard of daily living that will ensure an individual or family’s overall health and well-being.
Despite St. Albert's perception as an affluent community, poverty lives here.
- 4.6 per cent of St. Albert households have incomes less than $30,000 per year.
- 13 percent (2361) of St. Albert households have incomes between $30,000 and less than $60,000.
- 38.8 per cent of households spend more than 30 per cent of their incomes on housing costs.
The St. Albert Community Social Needs Assessment (CSNA) found that “affordability of programs and services” is a major concern to residents. When a segment of the population faces barriers to economic opportunity, access to health care, social supports, food and education, a whole community cannot reach its full potential.Topics in this section
