From my own personal anedoctal observation, Calgary has high degree of assortative mating variation. I have been to a few weddings where the bride and groom are both lawyers, physicians, accountants or other well paid professionals.
These couples and families have huge purchasing power that a million dollar mansion is easily affortable to them. That's because we do have high concerntration of high paying jobs here.
But that could potentially lead to increase in income inequality where gap between the have and have not widens. I used to be shocked me when I heard two young CA student couple buying a $600K house after the wedding but not anymore now. It's the new norm.
