Quietest neighbourhoods in Mississauga
Old Malton is the clearest pick for a quiet Mississauga neighbourhood, with a population density of about 12 people per square kilometre and a median income of $69,500. That's a fraction of the citywide density of 4,712 per square kilometre. Clarkson follows at 52 per square kilometre, with income closer to $109,000.
A couple of neighbourhoods, Cooksville and City Centre, show up at the very top of this list with density near zero, which likely reflects missing data rather than truly empty streets, so it's worth treating those two with caution.
Citywide, 40.4% of homes are single-detached and 73.1% are owner-occupied, both signs of the lower-density, quieter pockets this list is built around. Median age citywide is 42.4.
