In 2016 Strathcona was made up of 4.9% row houses and 6.3% detached duplexes, which would probably be considered the "missing middle", for a total of 11.2%. Compared to the entire city of Vancouver, this is low - 3.5% and 18.7%, respectively, for a total of 22.2%.
Strathcona does have a much higher proportion of apartments though, at 81.2%, compared to 61.5% across the entire city.
This would imply that Strathcona isn't the best location to create new missing middle as there isn't very much to make denser. There are much better locations that have a higher proportion of single-family houses that can be densified better.
