Duggan is a residential neighbourhood in south Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The neighbourhood is "named for J.J. Duggan (a pioneer citizen and former mayor of Edmonton's early rival, the City of Strathcona)".[1]

According to the 2001 federal census, the bulk of residential construction occurred during the 1960s and 1970s when two out of every three homes (67%) were constructed. Residential construction tapered off in the early 1980s when another 7.1% of residences were built. There was a sharp increase in construction in the neighbourhood during the late 1990s when a further 15.9% of residences were built.[2]

According to the 2005 municipal census, the most common type of residence in the neighbourhood is the single family dwelling, which accounts for approximately six out of ten (61%) of residences. Another three out of ten (28%) are apartments in low rise buildings with fewer than five stories. Most of the remaining 11% are row houses. Approximately two out of three residences (64%) are owner occupied, while the remaining one out of three (36%) are rented.[3]

The population is relatively stable with just over half (52.6%) of the population having lived in the neighbourhood for five years or longer. Another 9.1% have lived in the neighbourhood for three to five years.[4]
