POPULATION & ECONOMICAL OUTLOOK
Norwood is growing steadily, with the township now home to about 4,600 people and the village itself close to 1,900. It’s a community with a slightly older average age, but also a strong job base—unemployment is lower than the provincial average. The cost of living is much more affordable, especially housing, which is nearly half the provincial average. The real estate market is also picking up, with homes selling and moving fairly quickly. Norwood combines small-town affordability with steady growth, making it a great place for both families and retirees.

HOUSING NEEDS
Norwood’s housing needs in 2025 reflect growing demand fueled by population growth and expanding families seeking affordable, family-friendly homes. The real estate market here offers more space and privacy compared to urban areas, appealing to buyers seeking a rural yet connected lifestyle. Limited new housing supply and growing interest have pushed prices upward, emphasizing the need for continued development of diverse housing options. Norwood’s real estate market is positioned for long-term appreciation amid increasing interest in small-town living with modern amenities.
