The 2021 census gives $100,000 as the median value; Ontario’s towns come to $695,000. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Manitouwadge the census value is the measure. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $37,000. 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.
