The census median was $300,000 in 2021, against $695,000 for Ontario’s towns. Sale prices aren’t published in Ontario: what owners told the census is the figure to go on for Walkerville. For 2024, the median assessed value of a residential property is $156,000. 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. Walkerville shares its assessed values, values by property type and building permits numbers with the rest of the city of Windsor.

Each source sits beside its own median for Ontario’s towns; none compares across provinces, which value homes in their own ways. A census value is an owner’s guess at a selling price in May 2021, and prices have moved since.
