At the 2021 census the median home was worth $150,000, where Ontario’s towns sit at $695,000. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Kapuskasing’s homes actually sold for. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $98,000. Ontario’s assessments are still on MPAC’s values of 1 January 2016, far below today’s prices, so they compare only with other Ontario towns.
