Alberta's largest municipalities (i.e. with populations of 1,000 residents or more) are ranked. Additionally, all of Alberta's 181 municipal governments are organized according to municipal spending and revenue.

Each municipality was given an overall provincial ranking based on its spending, where #1 is the best performing municipality, and #181 is the worst. The rankings are based on growth in real operating spending per capita from 2007 to 2017. The complete provincial rankings are included in Appendix C. Legal is ranked #10 out of 181.
