A few dear homes lift Pond Inlet’s average value 27% above its median

Owners valued the median home at $300,000 at the 2021 census, and the average at $380,000. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. No open sale prices are published in Nunavut, so for Pond Inlet the census value is the measure.
