I grew up in the neighbourhood and my gut feeling is that the more liberal families of the neighbourhood have been pushed out for massive million dollar home owners, so I'm not sure what that does to the demographics.

I don't know what the specific demographics for the riding are but I lived in South Calgary/Marda Loop/Altadore for ~6 years up until last December. During that time, based on my interactions I noticed that there was a significant number of people in the area that tended to be liberal (obviously I never straight out asked anyone which party they supported.) The Liberal party also always had a strong showing/presence at community events like Marda Gras but I don't recall ever seeing the PC or WRP represented.
