Households and mobility
A community snapshot with the reference year attached.
The profile counted 2,300 people in private households across 795 households, with an average household size of 2.9 people.
25% of the population was age 14 or younger, 9% was age 65 or older, 38% were immigrants. These figures describe Vista Heights at the 2021 Census reference date and should not be read as a prediction of who will buy a particular home.
Across 795 private households, median total household income before tax was $74,000 in 2020; this is demographic context, not a measure of current purchasing power or home value.
1,030 residents aged five and older had moved within the prior five years (48%); that is household-mobility context rather than a proxy for real estate turnover.
620 members of the employed labour force used driver – car, truck or van as their main commute mode (76%), while 355 reported the most common duration, 15 to 29 minutes (43%).
