2021 Census community profileWho lives in University District—and what the data can actually tell us.
Population, household, tenure and mobility context from the official City profile, separated from assumptions about an individual buyer, seller or property.

Official records provide dated community context. Current listing status and conclusions about one property still require the applicable live record and property documents.
Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 960 people in private households across 485 households, with an average household size of 2 people.
22% of the population was age 14 or younger, 17% was age 65 or older, 18% were immigrants. These figures describe University District at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 485 private households, median total household income before tax was $74,500 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
755 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (84%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
160 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (57%), while 125 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (45%).
Community evidence briefA fuller University District foundation.
University District is a newer northwest urban community built around a mix of apartments, townhomes and newer residential formats near major education and medical employment centres. The official 2021 Census profile counted 960 people in private households and 485 private households within the exact community profile geography used for this site. Apartments in buildings with fewer than five storeys represented 36% of occupied private dwellings, apartments in buildings with more than five storeys represented 23%, and the 2016 to 2021 cohort represented 77%. Those figures capture an early development stage and are dated context rather than current prices or today's completed inventory. Buyers should verify building and corporation documents, remaining warranties, fees, parking, storage, construction around the exact address and the distinction between completed, resale and future-phase offerings.
