- Housing is a mix: 34% apartments, with the rest townhouses, duplexes and houses.

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.
