Neighbourhood Safety
The Spence neighbourhood has experienced significant fluctuations in crime over recent years. Violent crime peaked at 462 incidents in 2017, then generally declined to 321 in 2020, but rose again to 435 in 2024. The latest partial data for 2026 shows dramatic improvements, with violent crimes down to 23 and property crimes plummeting from 1120 in 2023 to just 55 in 2026 (a 92.8% drop year-over-year).
Property crime, which spiked to 1334 in 2022, fell sharply after 2023 and now sits at historically low levels. While the 2026 numbers may be incomplete, the trend indicates a marked improvement in safety, but buyers should note the recent volatility and check updated statistics.

Investors may find potential here due to the rejuvenation indicators and proximity to downtown, but should weigh historical crime volatility. Families might prefer areas with more consistent safety records, though the nearby park and schools (e.g., Children of the Earth High School) are positives.
Overall, this property suits individuals seeking affordability and vibrancy in a central Winnipeg neighbourhood, with recent signs of positive change.
