There are two sections of Evergreen, the older and more established Evergreen Estates, and the newer Evergreen to the south. The two sections, while civically amalgamated, have been known in the past as separate communities.

The members of both sections have separate community associations and street naming patterns. All streets with Evergreen in their name are members of the Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association along with the neighbouring community Shawnee Slopes, while those with different names are members of the Calgary Evergreen Community Association.

The area is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 13 councillor.
