Housing conditions in predominantly rural regions
1996
The analysis bulletin, Housing conditions in predominantly rural regions, the twelfth in a series examining trends in rural Canada, presents a profile of housing conditions in predominantly rural regions using data from the 1996 Census of Population. It is published in collaboration with the Rural Secretariat of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
This bulletin has special relevance to researchers, academics and municipal planners. It compares the proportion of housing in predominantly rural regions that falls below standards of size, condition and affordability set by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) with the proportion in predominantly urban regions. For example, in 1996, 31% of households in predominantly rural regions of the country failed to meet CMHC standards, compared with about 39% of households in predominantly urban regions.
