This historical neighborhood used to be the home to Ottawa's wealthy back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, embassies, government workers and university students live here. The anthropology students were tasked with researching how people acquired food. Sandy Hill has a variety of eateries and convenience stores, but grocery stores are outside the central area. For lower-income residents, including students, accessing affordable fresh food is an issue. A number of charitable programs help fill that void, but not completely. Students also looked at the transportation infrastructure here, the number of rentals to owners, green areas where gardens could be planted, charitable organizations offering food assistance and the history of Sandy Hill in maps.</div> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Winter Term 2026 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Students in the Ant 4135 Food and Food Systems taught by Laurie Weinstein, Ph.D. Winter 2026.

Title A name given to the resource Map of Sandy Hill’s Active Rental Subject The topic of the resource This research focuses on the demographics of Sandy Hill’s housing, specifically rental properties and apartments. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sarah Donaldson & Sarah Struthers Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 8 Description An account of the resource Our group mapped apartments and rental properties in Sandy Hill. This topic is important for understanding food assets because it maps physical distance between people and food sources, as well as the financial status of people who live in rental properties and how much money they have to spend on food. Sources for our findings include real estate agents (collect information on housing for the purpose of selling, investing, and advising others), and Statistics Canada. The average household income in Sandy Hill before taxes is $87,400. The median household income before taxes is $62,400. <a href="https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2020/schl-cmhc/NH12-77-2020-eng.pdf">(CMHC, 2020)</a> There is a large student population in Sandy Hill, which likely contributes to the lower average income in the neighbourhood as opposed to the Ottawa average. Students tend to live on the west side of the neighbourhood, closer to the University of Ottawa campus where household income is generally lower <a href="https://johncastle.ca/investment-property-in-ottawa/investment-property-in-sandy-hill/">(John Castle, 2023)</a>. Additionally, Sandy Hill has a slightly higher than average rent for single-person households compared to the Ottawa average. Sandy Hill has also had rapid growth in population since 2017, with unemployment rates being higher than the national average <a href="https://johncastle.ca/investment-property-in-ottawa/ottawa-rental-income/">(John Castle, 2023)</a>. Vacancy rates rose during the pandemic but have since recovered <a href="https://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2020/schl-cmhc/NH12-77-2020-eng.pdf">(CMHC, 2020)</a>. According to residents, housing is a major point of complaint, as rent prices have been high in recent years <a href="https://www.areavibes.com/ottawa-on/sandy+hill/employment/">(areavibes.com via Statistics Canada)</a>. According to a study done focusing on student living in Ottawa and Ontario "The average rent paid by students surveyed is $926.8, with 95% (n= 310) identifying rent prices as a primary challenge. Students in Ontario face a higher average rent ($935.4) compared to those in Quebec ($830.1). Financially, 25% (n= 106) of respondents rely solely on employment income. A student earning the minimum wage in Ottawa ($17.20/h) would need to work 54 hours per month just to cover the average rent cost, excluding tuition, food and transportation costs."<a href="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/66ad1e5a8e08cfd112d65245/67f6f106a2d1b2b8d0872b28_SHEC%20Report%20Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="STUDENT HOUSING CAUCUS REPORT By SHEC">STUDENT HOUSING CAUCUS REPORT</a> A large number of apartment buildings in Sandy Hill are on the north side of the neighbourhood, close to Rideau Street. It is difficult to tell if a property is owned or rented during a walkthrough of the neighbourhood. For example, often historic buildings are converted and/or renovated into multiple rentable units, but that it is impossible to tell just by looking at them. The interactive Google Map, below, shows some of the rentals and single family homes we marked.  This map is not complete as we did a pedestrian survey of the neighborhood.  We will be updating this map at a later time.
