If you are on the hunt for some places in Edmonton where you can expect plenty of kids heading out to trick-or-treat this Halloween, an interactive map can help you make a plan.

A map created by the team at Census Mapper captured the trick-or-treat density in Edmonton, based on the Canadian census from 2021.

This is the third iteration of this map, starting with 2011 data, then updated with 2016 data and now with the fresh 2021 census data.

It works by mapping out how many children of trick-or-treat age (ages three through 14) live in your area per square kilometre, and the darker the colour, the more foot traffic is expected.

Looking at the map, neighbourhoods in the northeast, like Pilot Sound and Clareview, the southeast, like Mill Woods and The Meadows, and scattered throughout southern sections of the city, like Heritage Valley, Ellerslie, and Blue Quills.

Some inner-city Edmonton neighbourhoods, like WîhkwêntÓwin, Parkdale, Eastwood, and Westmount, also registered the chance of heavy foot traffic for Halloween.

With a fresh census on the way in 2026, fingers crossed, a new version of this map will be made for Halloween next year. You can view the trick-or-treat density map online.

With Halloween just around the corner, November can be a bit of a drag once all the candy is eaten and the costumes are put away. We’ve got you covered on some of the best concerts to check out in Edmonton, because some good live music will get you through the month!
