What the numbers mean

Owners valued the median home at $275K in the 2016 census, close to the Winnipeg median of $297K. Prices have moved since, so treat it as a relative guide.
49% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide.
20% are 65 or older, versus 14% city-wide, a sign of long-time residents and a settled pace.
Housing is a mix: 42% apartments, with the rest townhouses, duplexes and houses.
Tenants paid a median of $899 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.
