What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $187K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $279K, 37% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
96% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
32% are 65 or older, versus 14% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
96% of homes are apartments (33% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
Tenants paid a median of $851 a month in shelter costs in the 2016 census, which covers all tenants including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.
