One figure stands out in Hickory Woods: 19% of households in core housing need, against 9% across Ontario’s towns
The 2021 census put the median home at $900,000, with an average of $896,509. Owners gave those values at the May 2021 census; they are estimates, and older than today’s prices. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Hickory Woods the census value is the measure.
What Hickory Woods’s homes are worth, two ways
Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. MPAC hasn’t reassessed since its 1 January 2016 values, which is why the figure sits well under the census value; it compares only within Ontario.
