Densely populated neighbourhoods in Brampton
Brampton's densest neighbourhoods are built up around apartments and townhomes rather than the city's usual single-detached streets. Citywide, single-detached houses still make up about 56% of housing and owner-occupied homes about 80%, but that share drops fast once you get into these areas. High-rise apartments account for only about 7% of housing citywide, so the dense pockets stand out.
Income doesn't drop off the way you might expect. Places like Northwood Park and Springdale post median incomes near $100,000 even with density well above the city norm. Peel Village, one of the denser areas, still sits close to $77,500.
