Some 2,750 owner households gave their home’s value to the 2021 census. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. No open sale prices are published in Ontario, so for Trent Lakes the census value is the measure.

Every figure here is compared within the province, against Ontario’s towns, since each province assesses on its own terms. 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.
