Six Calgary neighbourhoods have been named among Canada's wealthiest in the latest ranking by Canadian Business.

Each year, the magazine teams up with Environics Analysis to produce the Canada's Richest Neighbourhoods ranking, which measures the average household net worth of the people living in each area. Net worth figures are publicly available from census data and market intelligence but none of the data reflects the finances of any particular individual.

The borders of each of the neighbourhoods measured has been defined by Statistics Canada and the wealthiest 25 of them made it on to the list.
