✅

You override get_context_data and get the value returned by the super method, yet you define a new dictionary and return that. Instead you want to add your extra context to the dictionary returned by the super method:

class UserDetailView(DetailView):
    model = User

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(UserDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        id = int(self.kwargs.get('pk'))
        props = Statistics.objects.filter(user=id, property=100)
        context['user_property'] = props
        # OR
        # context.update({'user_property':props})
        return context
