The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.

Compiled by HOMEH from leases reported closed in York University Heights on the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board MLS® System, through September 2026.

Not an appraisal or an opinion of value.
