That figure comes from 2,170 owner households at the 2021 census. What homes sold for in Blackburn Hamlet isn’t public: no sale figures are released in Ontario. On the 2024 assessment, the middle residential property is valued at $370,000. 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. Figures for assessed values, values by property type and building permits are published for the city of Ottawa as a whole, not for Blackburn Hamlet alone.
