What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $509K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Victoria MLS® Home Price Index (+11% since then), that is about $564K, 43% below the Victoria median of $987K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
74% of households rent, well above the 39% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
32% of residents are 20 to 34, versus 20% city-wide. It skews young-professional.
79% of homes are apartments (36% 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 Victoria. Policing there is by the RCMP or a municipal police department, and neither publishes open crime counts by neighbourhood. Check Statistics Canada's crime tables for municipality-wide trends, and the local police website for crime maps. Why this is missing.
