How these grades are computed
Grades from A to E, computed automatically from open data (police, city, census). Each criterion ranks this neighbourhood against the other neighbourhoods of the same city: A for the best-placed fifth, E for the lowest fifth. A relative position, not a verdict.
Reported crime in Clanton Park fell over the last year, from 315 major incidents to 229, leaving the neighbourhood below the city average for serious offences. Its housing leans toward apartments, with 43.0% of dwellings in tall buildings and 35.2% in condominiums. Parkland is the weak spot: 11 municipal parks cover 2.4% of the land.
Crime and safety
Toronto Police Service counted 229 major crimes in Clanton Park over the most recent full year of data, down from 315 the year before, a change of -27.3%. The resulting rate is 10.9, measured against population, compared with 13.2 across Toronto as a whole. That places the neighbourhood below the city average, and ranks it 75 among the 158 Toronto neighbourhoods tracked here, counting up from the safest.
The major-crime count groups assaults, break-ins, robberies, vehicle thefts and major thefts. Assaults dominate the local picture: assaults account for 53.7% of incidents, a pattern common in areas with busy arterial roads and apartment clusters. Break-ins are the category most residents ask about. There were 28 of them, a rate of 1.3 against 1.9 citywide, which puts Clanton Park below the city average, and the trend is falling. The broader major-crime trend is likewise falling.

Housing stock
The census counted 7,155 occupied dwellings in Clanton Park. Apartments shape the streetscape more than houses do: 43.0% of homes sit in tall apartment buildings, and 35.2% of the total stock is condominium tenure, so a fair share of those apartments are owner-occupied rather than purpose-built rental.
Renters make up 45.5% of households, slightly under the Toronto figure of 48.1%. Older construction is still well represented: 25.1% of dwellings date from the early post-war period or before, which usually means lower ceilings on renovation surprises for buyers and a mix of building standards worth checking during an inspection.

Parks and outdoor life
The City of Toronto's municipal parks inventory lists 11 parks in Clanton Park, together covering 2.4% of the land area against 12.5% for the city. Measured per dwelling, park space works out to 14,022.0 where Toronto overall reaches 69,239.0, so the neighbourhood sits below the city average. With so much of the housing in apartments, that green space carries more weight than the raw share suggests.
Elie Wiesel Park is the biggest of them. Families will find 5 children's playgrounds and 7 outdoor sports fields and courts, plus 1 community centre for indoor programming. Private grounds, school yards and provincial land are not part of this count.

Rents in the Toronto region
CMHC does not publish rent averages at the neighbourhood level, so the figures below describe the whole Toronto region rather than Clanton Park itself. In the 2025 survey, bachelor units averaged $1,491 and smaller units $1,761. Family-sized units averaged $2,045, and the largest units $2,294.
Use them as a benchmark, not a quote. Asking rents in a given building depend on age, condition and whether the unit is condominium stock rented out by its owner — relevant here, given that 35.2% of local dwellings are condos.
Practical notes for newcomers
Break-ins run below the city average in Clanton Park and the trend is falling, so standard precautions are usually enough: solid locks on ground-floor and balcony doors, a lit entrance, and knowing who holds keys in an apartment building. In condominium and rental towers, ask the property manager how visitor access and parking garages are controlled, since parking levels are where vehicle-related incidents cluster.
Renters, who make up 45.5% of households here, should budget for tenant insurance; a building's policy covers the structure, not your belongings or liability. Buyers looking at the 35.2% of stock that is condominium should request the status certificate and reserve fund details before firming up, and arrange mortgage pre-approval early so the offer window is not the moment financing gets sorted out. With 25.1% of dwellings from the older end of the stock, a thorough inspection of wiring, plumbing and windows pays for itself.
