What the numbers mean

  • Owners valued the median home at $250K in the 2016 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Winnipeg MLS® Home Price Index (+50% since then), that is about $374K, 16% below the Winnipeg median of $444K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
  • 62% of households rent, well above the 35% city-wide, so expect a younger, more mobile mix of neighbours.
  • 60% of homes are apartments (33% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.
  • Tenants paid a median of $952 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.

Registration fee shown is for electronic registration of a transfer over $30,000. Legal fees, title insurance, inspection and adjustments are extra. ↩
  2. Source: CMHC Rental Market Survey, Housing Market Information Portal. These are zone averages across all units in apartment buildings of three or more units, not a figure for Worthington alone, and they are not asking rents. Houses, basement suites and condos rented out by owners are not included. Zones are large, so neighbouring communities can share one figure. ↩
