What the numbers mean
- Owners valued the median home at $140K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $210K, 53% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
- 90% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
- 32% of residents are under 15, versus 17% city-wide. Expect busy schools, parks and playgrounds.
- 62% of homes are apartments (33% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
- Tenants paid a median of $431 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.
