In an important step towards solving Canada's housing crisis, Statistics Canada is evaluating ways to collect more comprehensive and precise housing data. The Residential Building Occupancy (RBO) Project aims to address gaps and limitations in how housing construction-related information is collected and reported across Canada. It focuses on enhancing timeliness, accuracy, and integration of data sources to better inform decision-making.
The scope of the RBO project is to improve the process of how this data is captured, standardized, and compared across jurisdictions. The project will develop more streamlined approaches and explore automated solutions. The aim is to increase efficiency in data collection and improve usability for both data providers and data users.
As part of this initiative, a GCform was created to gather feedback from municipalities on the type, format, and availability of residential building occupancy data they currently collect.
