The average family income for the area is $45,715 which is lower than the city average. The Inner Harbour area consists primarily of working class families with commercial activity centred primarily around Princess and Queen Streets on the south side of the neighbourhood.

The term refers to areas located on the north side of Princess Street, which is the main thoroughfare through Kingston, and runs the length of the city as it is Highway 2 through town.

The areas proximity to downtown Kingston means it has many good examples of historic limestone structures. It is also home to the newly built K-Rock Centre, a large venue entertainment and sporting arena. The LaSalle Causeway which enters the Inner Harbour neighbourhood at the foot of Ontario Street is also the main link between Kingston and its eastern suburbs. It consists of three bridges, one of which is a lift bridge allowing boats access to the Cataraqui River, Inner Harbour and Rideau Canal System linking Kingston with Ottawa.
