It is the middle of what 4,775 owner households told the 2021 census. An owner’s figure, not a sale: the census of May 2021 asked what each home would fetch. Statistics Canada doesn’t publish sales in Quebec, so nothing here says what Bourg-Royal’s homes actually sold for. For property tax, the 2025 roll sets the median single-family home at $365,000, on July 1, 2023 market values. For property-roll values and building permits, the only official count covers all of the city of Québec, Bourg-Royal included.
