What the numbers mean
- Owners valued the median home at $175K in the 2016 census, 41% below the Winnipeg median of $297K. Prices have moved since, so treat it as a relative guide.
- 93% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
- Only 6% of residents are under 15, versus 17% city-wide.
- 25% of residents are 20 to 29, versus 15% city-wide. It skews young-professional.
- 100% of homes are apartments (33% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
- Tenants paid a median of $829 a month in shelter costs in the 2016 census, which covers all tenants including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.

How it's changing
Winnipeg doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

Neighbourhood-level crime figures aren't available for Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Police Service doesn't publish 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.
