The 2021 census gives $300,000 as the median value; Ontario’s towns come to $695,000. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Ontario, so nothing here says what Papineau-Cameron’s homes actually sold for. Assessors valued the median residential property at $103,000 for 2024. Ontario still assesses at 2016 values (MPAC’s 1 January 2016 base): a figure to set against other Ontario towns, not against prices.
