What the numbers mean

• Owners valued the median home at $1.74M in the 2021 census, 93% above the Toronto median of $900K. Prices have moved since, so treat it as a relative guide.
• 60% of households rent, well above the 48% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
• Only 10% of residents are under 15, versus 14% city-wide.
• 25% are 65 or older, versus 17% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
• 82% of homes are apartments (61% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
• Tenants here paid a median of $1,680 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, 16% above the $1,450 median across Toronto's 158 neighbourhoods. That figure covers all tenants, including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.

Upfront closing costs²

Toronto buyers pay land transfer tax twice, once to Ontario and once to the City, so the bill is about double Ontario's alone. Government fees at the median home price: This uses the 2021 census home-value estimate, and today's prices are higher, so the real bill will be larger.
