The 2021 census gives $200,000 as the median value; Ontario’s towns come to $695,000. Statistics Canada’s housing statistics carry no sale prices in Ontario; the census value stands in for Mattawa. The 2024 property assessment puts the median residential property at $87,000. 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.

Two sources, each set against Ontario’s towns only: provinces measure value differently, so they don’t line up across borders. Those values come from owners at the 2021 census and predate the prices of the years since.
