In the city directories 1940 · 16 people at ten addresses
The directories print 16 people named Macauley at ten addresses in 1940 in eight of the city's neighbourhoods, with the close spellings MacAuley and McAuley. No first name or initials tie one address to another: we can't tell if they're one family. The most under one roof: four Macauleys at 635 East 22nd in 1940.

Their neighbourhoods
The addresses are in Hastings-Sunrise (3), Dunbar-Southlands, Fairview, Kensington-Cedar Cottage, Kitsilano, Renfrew-Collingwood, Riley Park and West Point Grey. Each neighbourhood's page shows its trades, its people and every street in it, the way the directory printed them.
The story, address by address

Today
5358 Cecil, 635 East 22nd, 4294 West 11th and 1151 West 8th still have their buildings from before 1946, 1151 West 8th on the Vancouver Heritage Register; 3463 Triumph (2015), 3363 West 19th (1996) and 4144 Windsor (2001) have newer buildings, by the City's record; the City no longer lists 1965 Cornwall, 375 North Kootenay and 2009 Renfrew, so those buildings are probably gone (inferred).

Sources
Henderson's and successor city directories for Vancouver, read by us line by line: the street sections for 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935, 1940 and 1945, and the name section for 1930 and 1940 where we've read it (Vancouver Public Library, BC City Directories). Names are shown through 1945, as printed. Close spellings are grouped, as on the house pages, since a family's name was often spelled differently from one year to the next; one name can still be several families, and we join lines only where the first names or initials agree. Many Chinese, Japanese and other residents weren't named by the canvassers, so they can't be listed by name: their houses' pages say where. More family names under M. Want a name removed? Tell us.
