Winnipeg Most Improved Neighbourhoods 2025→2026

Source: Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), sorted by year-over-year decline

The following compares 2025 vs 2026 incident counts. The Most Improved list highlights neighbourhoods with the largest crime reductions — useful for buyers and renters researching up-and-coming areas. Only neighbourhoods with 20+ incidents are included for statistical reliability.

For Home Buyers

Neighbourhoods on the Most Improved list may be underpriced relative to their improving safety trajectory — a potential opportunity for buyers focused on long-term appreciation. However, a single year's decline can reflect statistical noise rather than a genuine shift. Always review the multi-year history on the individual neighbourhood page before treating a one-year improvement as a buy signal.
