    Pollution/ Noise

    Downtown Edmonton is much less polluted when compared to most downtown cores. It is surrounded by a large greenspace with the North Saskatchewan River Valley and its many ravines. The downtown core of Edmonton also doesn’t have the busy commuter traffic of other downtowns like Toronto or Vancouver. With that said, it still has its share of pollutions and noise like any downtown of a major city.


    Crime Rate

    Like most downtown cores, there are certain areas that are of concern. According to the Edmonton Journal, 50% of violent crimes in Edmonton occurred downtown but 50% of those occurred in a very small area. There is a radius of about two square blocks that is home to many outreach services like homeless shelters and addictions facilities that is particularly over represented in crime statistics. The general rule is: if you stay out of this small area at night, crime shouldn’t be more of a concern than it would be in a residential neighborhood.
