What the numbers mean
- Owners valued the median home at $677K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Toronto MLS® Home Price Index (-11% since then), that is about $604K, 34% below the Toronto-area suburbs median of $917K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
- 43% of households rent, well above the 34% city-wide.
- 27% of residents are 20 to 34. It skews young-professional.
- 78% of homes are apartments (38% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.

How it's changing
These municipalities don't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.
Safety
Neighbourhood-level crime figures aren't available for Mississauga. Policing there is by a regional police service, and none publishes neighbourhood crime counts we can compare with Toronto's. Check Statistics Canada's crime tables for municipality-wide trends, and the local police website for crime maps. Why this is missing.
