What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $200K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $300K, 32% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
27% of households rent, below the 35% city-wide.
Only 12% of residents are under 15, versus 17% city-wide.
23% are 65 or older, versus 14% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
Housing is a mix: 19% apartments, with the rest townhouses, duplexes and houses.
Tenants paid a median of $1,011 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.

Safety

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.
