2024 Annual Waste Management Survey

Why are we conducting this survey?

This survey will provide information that will help Canadians understand how much waste is managed by governments and businesses in Canada. Data will be collected from businesses within the waste management industry, as well as from businesses that are engaged in handling some or all of their own waste, through partnerships and material recovery agreements. The results will assist businesses and policy makers in making sound decisions related to waste management, based on data that apply specifically to activities conducted in this area. The survey will provide a comprehensive picture of waste management in Canada.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations, which have agreed to keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. Statistics Canada will only share data from this survey with those organizations that have demonstrated a requirement to use the data.

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations. Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Non-hazardous waste (garbage):
Included in this category are materials, products or by-products for which the waste generator has no further use and which are received for disposal at waste disposal facilities or for processing at a waste processing facility.

Residential waste:
Residential waste refers to waste from primary and seasonal dwellings, which includes all single family, multi-family, high-rise and low-rise residences.

It includes:

the waste picked up by the municipality, (either using its own staff, or through contracted companies)
the waste from residential sources which is self-hauled to depots, transfer stations and landfills.

Construction, renovation and demolition waste (CR&D):
CR&D waste, also referred to as DLC (demolition, land clearing and construction waste), refers to waste generated by construction, renovation and demolition activities. It generally includes materials such as brick, painted wood, drywall, metal, cardboard, doors, windows, wiring. It excludes materials from land clearing on areas not previously developed. CR&D waste can come from residential sources such as house renovations or from non-residential sources for example the construction or demolition of office buildings.

Hazardous waste:
Includes materials or substances that given their corrosive, inflammable, infectious, reactive and toxic characteristics, may present a real or potential harm to human health or the environment. Due to their hazardous nature they require special handling, storing, transportation, treatment and disposal as specified by the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (1985), The Canadian Environmental Protection Act (1988), The Basel Convention (1989), or the Export and Import of Hazardous Waste Regulations (1992).

Industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) waste, non-residential:
IC&I waste is the waste generated by all non-residential sources in a municipality, and is excluded from the residential waste stream. This includes:

industrial waste, which is generated by manufacturing, and primary and secondary industries, and is managed off-site from the manufacturing operation. It is generally picked up under contract by the private sector
commercial waste is generated by commercial operations such as shopping centres, offices, etc. Some commercial waste (e.g., from small street-front stores) may be picked up by the municipal collection system along with the residential waste
institutional waste is generated by institutional facilities such as schools, hospitals, government facilities, senior homes, universities, etc. This waste is generally picked up under contract with the private sector.

Organic material collection, non-residential:
Collection of organic material (e.g., food scraps, leaves, grass, wood waste and paper products) from sources such as heavy and light industry, manufacturing, agriculture, warehousing, transportation, retail and wholesale commercial activities, restaurants, offices, educational or recreational facilities, health and other service facilities.

Organic material collection, residential:

8. In 20xx, was waste in this jurisdiction collected or transported by this jurisdiction's employees to a landfill, incinerator or energy from waste facility, residual waste processor or a transfer station?

Definitions and explanations

Glossary

Energy from waste (EFW):
EFW refers to any waste treatment that creates energy in the form of electricity or heat from a waste source. Most EFW processes produce electricity directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.

Incineration/thermal treatment:
Incineration, in the context of waste, refers to the burning of waste. Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into incinerator bottom ash, flue gases, particulates, and heat, which can in turn be used to generate electric power. Most jurisdictions in Canada consider incineration to be disposal.

Landfill:
A site, on land, that is used primarily for the disposal of waste materials. The contents of landfills can include garbage which is not processed, and also residual material from processing operations (e.g., MRF residues, incinerator ash, organic processing residues).

Residual waste processing (non-hazardous):
An operation in which the physical or chemical properties of non-recyclable or compostable wastes are changed to reduce size and/or volume. Examples of waste processing are shredding, compaction & transformation.

Definitions and explanations

Glossary:

Processing residue:
The portion of the materials that is deemed non-marketable after processing due to breakage, transportation or processing limitations. The residue produced at the facility as a result of the processing of acceptable waste is not for beneficial use.

Estimating sources of waste (garbage), recyclables and organic materials:
It is acknowledged that it is often very difficult to track the quantities of waste and recyclable materials by source unless the business or local government collects or prepares materials from only one source (e.g., a firm that collects waste only from IC&I sources).

In this survey, you are being asked to estimate the proportion of materials by source of material at three points (if applicable and known): at the facility where organic material is processed, at the facility where recyclables are prepared and at disposal. If you engage in one or more of these activities, you will be asked to estimate the proportion of waste, recyclable or organic materials from residential, non-residential and construction and demolition sources. While it is recognized that such estimates may be difficult to make, you are asked to be as accurate as possible.

Sources of materials:
Refers to the sources of generation of the waste or recyclable material. These sources are classified as residential, industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) and construction, renovation and demolition (CR&D). It is sometimes difficult to ascertain the source of a given material because of lack of tracking or complex collection arrangements (e.g., when collection is contracted out or when collection vehicles pick up materials from a mix of sources on their routes).

Food waste:
Includes food wastes and food scraps from households and non-residential sources such as grocery stores, restaurants, etc., destined for composting or anaerobic digestion.

Source separated organic materials (SSO):
Source separation of organics is the setting aside of organic waste materials at their point of generation (the home, office, or other place of business) by the generator. Examples of SSO materials are food scraps, soiled paper packaging such as ice cream boxes, muffin paper, flour and sugar bags, paper coffee cups and paper plates.

Leaf and yard waste:
Includes any waste collected from a yard or garden such as leaves, grass clippings, plants, tree trimmings and branches.

Forestry waste:
The debris or leftover waste from the management of forests. This would include trees, stumps, branches, etc., that were discarded.

Wood waste:
The primary constituents of wood waste are used lumber, trim, trees, branches, and other wood debris from construction and demolition clearing and grubbing activities. It includes: dimensional lumber, plywood, particle board and fibre board, crating, wood fencing, pressure treated lumber, wood shingles, wooden doors, creosoted wood products, demolition wood waste, painted wood.

Agricultural waste:
All waste materials produced as a result of agricultural activities, including, for example, residues from the application of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other chemicals, wastewater, bedding material, etc.

Biosolids:
Includes solid or semisolid material obtained from treated wastewater.

Include all quantities of food waste, materials from source separated organics programs (SSO), leaf and yard waste as well as Christmas trees and pumpkins.

Exclude industrial sludge, portable toilet waste, and oil field waste.

Monthly New Motor Vehicle Sales Survey

Why do we conduct this survey?

This survey is conducted by Statistics Canada in order to collect the necessary information to support the Integrated Business Statistics Program (IBSP). This program combines various survey and administrative data to develop comprehensive measures of the Canadian economy.

The automotive industry plays a prominent role in the Canadian economy. This survey provides information on the sales of new motor vehicles in Canada by North American and overseas automobile manufacturers. This information serves as a very important indicator of Canadian economic performance and is required by government in establishing informed economic policies. The business community uses this information to analyze market performance and developments.

Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.

Your participation in this survey is required under the authority of the Statistics Act.

Other important information

Authorization to collect this information

Data are collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S-19.

Confidentiality

By law, Statistics Canada is prohibited from releasing any information it collects that could identify any person, business, or organization, unless consent has been given by the respondent, or as permitted by the Statistics Act. Statistics Canada will use the information from this survey for statistical purposes only.

Record linkages

To enhance the data from this survey and to reduce the reporting burden, Statistics Canada may combine the acquired data with information from other surveys or from administrative sources.

Data-sharing agreements

Section 11 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with provincial and territorial statistical agencies that meet certain conditions. These agencies must have the legislative authority to collect the same information, on a mandatory basis, and the legislation must provide substantially the same provisions for confidentiality and penalties for disclosure of confidential information as the Statistics Act. Because these agencies have the legal authority to compel businesses to provide the same information, consent is not requested and businesses may not object to the sharing of the data.

For this survey, there are Section 11 agreements with the provincial and territorial statistical agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon. The shared data will be limited to information pertaining to business establishments located within the jurisdiction of the respective province or territory.

Section 12 of the Statistics Act provides for the sharing of information with federal, provincial or territorial government organizations.

Under Section 12, you may refuse to share your information with any of these organizations by writing a letter of objection to the Chief Statistician, specifying the organizations with which you do not want Statistics Canada to share your data and mailing it to the following address:

Chief Statistician of Canada
Statistics Canada

Vital Statistics Death Database – Glossary

The definitions used for the production of statistical tables of Canadian vital statistics data are based on those recommended by the World Health Organization^{Note 1} and the United Nations.^{Note 2}

Age. Age attained at the last birthday preceding death. In the case of infant deaths, the completed number of months (or minutes, hours, or days) since birth.

Cause of death. The cause of death coded and tabulated is the underlying cause of death. This is defined as "(a) the disease or injury which initiated the train of morbid events leading directly to death, or (b) the circumstances of the accident or violence which produced the fatal injury". This underlying cause of death is selected from a number of conditions listed on the medical certificate of cause of death.

Beginning in the year 2000 in Canada, causes of death and stillbirth are coded to the 10th revision of the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10). The previous revision, ICD-9^{Note 3} was used in Canada for the classification of cause of death and stillbirth from 1979 to 1999.

Death. The permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after a live birth has taken place. Stillbirths are excluded from death statistics unless otherwise indicated.

Early neonatal death: Death of a child under one week of age (0 to 6 days).
Infant death: Death of a child under one year of age.
Neonatal death: Death of a child under four weeks of age (0 to 27 days).
Perinatal death: Death of a child under one week of age (0 to 6 days) or a stillbirth of 28 or more weeks of gestation.
Post-neonatal death: Death of a child under one year of age but at least 28 days old (28 to 364 days).

Death (mortality) rates

Age-specific mortality rate: The number of deaths in a particular age group during a given year per 1,000 population (or 100,000 population) in the same age group as of July 1 of the same year.
Age-standardized mortality rate: Age-standardization removes the effects of differences in the age structure of populations among areas and over time. Age-standardized mortality rates show the number of deaths per 1,000 population (or 100,000 population) that would have occurred in a given area if the age structure of the population of that area was the same as the age structure of a specified standard population. For age-standardized mortality rates using the 1991 estimated population, see tables 13-10-0393-01 and 13-10-0396-01, and for age-standardized mortality rates using the 2011 estimated population, see tables 13-10-0800-01 and 13-10-0801-01. For age-standardized mortality rates using the estimated 2021 population see tables 13-10-0932-01 and 13-10-0933-01.

The formula for an age-standardized mortality rate r is:

$r = \sum_{i = 1}^{20} (\frac{d_{i}}{p_{i}}) w_{i} where$

For age group i:

d_i is the age-sex-specific death count for a particular cause of death for a given year and geographical area,
p_i is the age-sex-specific population estimate for July 1 of the same year and geographical area, and
w_i is the weight for that age group in a standard population. The standard populations and calculated weights are shown in Table 1. Note that the same weights are used for each sex.

To yield a rate per 1,000 population (or 100,000 population), r is multiplied by 1,000 (or 100,000).

Crude death rate: The number of deaths during a given year per 1,000 population (or 100,000 population) as of July 1 of the same year.
Early neonatal death rate: The number of early neonatal deaths during a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year.
Infant mortality rate: The number of infant deaths during a given year per 1,000 live births (or 100,000 live births) in the same year.
Neonatal death rate: The number of neonatal deaths during a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year.
Perinatal death rate: The number of perinatal deaths during a given year per 1,000 total births (live births plus stillbirths of 28 or more weeks of gestation) in the same year.
Post-neonatal death rate: The number of post-neonatal deaths during a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year.

Delivery. A delivery may consist of one or more live born or stillborn fetuses. The number of deliveries in a given period will be equal to or less than the total number of births because a multiple birth (twins, triplets or higher-order multiple births) is counted as a single delivery.

Fetal death (stillbirth). See Stillbirth.

Fetal death (stillbirth) rate. See Stillbirth rate.

Gestational age. The interval, in completed weeks, between the first day of the mother's last menstrual period and the day of delivery (that is, the duration of pregnancy). It can also be an estimate of that interval, based on ultrasound, a physical examination, or other method. Canadian birth registration documents do not specify how the gestational age was calculated. Pre-term refers to a period of gestation under 37 completed weeks; term, 37 through 41 completed weeks; and post-term, 42 or more completed weeks.

ICD-10 codes. The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes, 10th Revision, were established by the World Health Organization in 1992. The ICD-10 manual assigns codes to specific diseases, injuries and causes of death.

Leading causes of death. From the approximately 8,000 ICD–10 codes valid for underlying causes of death, aggregated groups of causes of death called "short lists" were developed for use in the summary list of causes of death and to rank the leading causes of death. The short lists of ICD-10 used to rank the leading causes of death and the methodology used to select the rankable causes were developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the U.S Department of Health and Human Services.^{Note 4}

The number of deaths is used as the ranking criteria because it most accurately reflects the frequency of cause-specific mortality. The 50 rankable causes of death, as shown in Appendix 1, were selected from the short list of 113 selected causes of death developed by NCHS for use with ICD–10. The 71 rankable causes of infant death, as shown in Appendix 2, were selected from the short list of 130 selected causes of infant death developed by NCHS for use with ICD–10.

The ranking of leading causes has limitations; it describes the rank order, by number of deaths, of each cause of death from a selected list of causes. The ranking alone cannot measure the relative risk of death. Further, any comparisons of leading causes by region or by year do not take into account the differences in the population age structure.

Live birth. The complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached.

Life expectancy. A statistical measure derived from the life table indicating the average number of years of life remaining for a population at a specific age, if the individuals comprising that population would experience the age-specific mortality rates observed in a given year, throughout their lives.

Marital status. Marital status refers to the legal conjugal status of the deceased at the time of death. Persons in common-law relationships are categorized by their legal marital status (common-law relationships are included in the "unknown marital status" category where the legal status cannot be determined). A single person is one who has never been married, or a person whose marriage has been annulled and who has not remarried. A separated person is legally married but is not living with his or her spouse because the couple no longer wants to live together. A divorced person is one who has obtained a legal divorce and has not remarried. A married person is one who is legally married and not separated. A person whose spouse has died and who has not remarried is widowed.

Population. Persons whose usual place of residence is somewhere in Canada, including Canadian government employees stationed abroad and their families, members of the Canadian Forces stationed abroad and their families, crews of Canadian merchant vessels, and non-permanent residents of Canada.

Mid-year (July 1) population estimates are used to calculate the rates in vital statistics publications (see table footnotes). Population estimates are frequently revised by Statistics Canada's Demography Division.

Provinces and territories. Unless otherwise stated, the geographic distribution of deaths in the tables of this publication is based on the deceased's usual place of residence.

Nunavut came into being officially as a Territory of Canada on April 1, 1999. The name Northwest Territories applies to a Territory with different geographic boundaries before and after April 1, 1999.

Deaths and stillbirths of residents of Nunavut which took place before April 1, 1999 are included with deaths and stillbirths of residents of the Northwest Territories. Deaths and stillbirths which took place on or after April 1, 1999 are tabulated separately for residents of Nunavut.

Rank of leading causes of death. The rank is based on the number of deaths of each leading cause of death. When there is the same number of deaths for more than one leading cause, the ranks assigned will be the same. Consequently, the next rank in line will be incremented by the number of equal ranks. For example, if there are three leading causes of death with 4th rank, the next leading cause will be rank 7_th.

Stillbirth (fetal death). Death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy; the death is indicated by the fact that after such separation the fetus does not breathe or show any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. Only stillbirths where the product of conception has a birth weight of 500 grams or more or the duration of pregnancy is 20 weeks or longer are registered in Canada.

In Quebec (as well as in Saskatchewan prior to 2001 and in New Brunswick prior to November 1996), only stillbirths (fetal deaths) weighing 500 or more grams must be reported, regardless of the gestation period.

Because of these differences in reporting requirements, stillbirths (fetal deaths) data are presented for two gestation periods: 20 or more weeks of gestation (including fetal deaths or stillbirths with unknown weeks of gestation), and 28 or more weeks of gestation (excluding unknown weeks of gestation).

Stillbirth (fetal death) rate. The number of stillbirths (fetal deaths) per 1,000 live births plus stillbirths (fetal deaths).

4. Verify or provide the current main activity of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name above.

Note: The described activity was assigned using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.

The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations, unions, charitable or non-profit organizations, and the employees of households.

The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational units targeted by this questionnaire only, as outlined in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.

The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classes; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.

Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.

The following is the detailed description including any applicable examples or exclusions for the classification currently associated with this business or organization.

Workshop on record linkage and linked data

Summary

The Record Linkage Workshop will be a tour of linkage and linked data for RDC researchers. We will survey different types of linkage and their applications. We will dig a bit deeper on probabilistic record linkage, which is a key type performed at Statistics Canada, before giving some techniques and tips for analysis using linked data. We will also describe some critical resources – the Social Data Linkage Environment and the Record Linkage Resource Centre, including their role in getting you access to linked data for your project.

Come to this workshop if you are wondering what linked data can do for you, or if you anticipate leading a project that would benefit from access to linked data and want to know how to get it.

Workshop on matched employer-employee data

Summary

This workshop will provide a detailed exploration of the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database (CEEDD) and its subset, the Business Employee Analytical Microdata (BEAM). Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the structure and features of these datasets. The session will highlight the distinctions between the CEEDD and BEAM, alongside examples of research that have been undertaken using these resources.

Topics

Part 1: Exploring the Structure and Research Potential of the CEEDD and BEAM

The first part of the workshop will examine the structure of the CEEDD and its subset, the BEAM. The session will highlight the key differences between the CEEDD and BEAM, focusing on their unique features and complementary strengths. Participants will also explore the wide range of research opportunities enabled by these datasets. Illustrative examples will demonstrate how the CEEDD and BEAM can be leveraged to address critical social, economic and policy questions, underscoring their value for both academic and applied research.

Part 2: Examples of research using Statistics Canada’s matched employer-employee data

Adapting to Change: The COVID-19 Impact on Self-Employment Transitions in Canada

This paper leverages the CEEDD for the period 2017–2021 to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of self-employment entry and exit. Specifically, it quantifies how the pandemic acted as a trigger for transitions into and out of self-employment. The analysis focuses on changes in the class of worker—paid employment (PE), unincorporated self-employment (USE), and incorporated business ownership (IBO)—at the individual level during the study period. Additionally, the study investigates the influence of pre-pandemic worker characteristics on job transition choices, such as shifts from PE to either USE or IBO, and vice versa.

Impact of job displacement on earnings of workers in high-emission industries in Canada

As Canada and some other countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) transition towards a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission economy, there may be concerns regarding its implications on jobs and hence earnings of workers employed in GHG-intensive industries. Statistics Canada participated in an OECD study using matched employer-employee data across 14 OECD countries to examine the impact of job displacement on earnings trajectories of workers in high-emission industries. High-emission industries represented approximately 10% of employment in Canada from 2001 to 2019.

Housing Data Workshop

Summary

This workshop will provide information on recent empirical housing research projects at Statistics Canada and will provide detailed information on key Statistics Canada datasets available in the research data centers (RDC).

Topics

Part 1: In-depth presentation of key housing microdata available in the RDCs

The first part of the workshop will provide information and hands-on guidance on housing microdata available in the RDCs. Workshop participants will hear from presenters on the Canadian Housing Statistics Program, the Canadian Housing Survey, as well as new custom data in the RDCs, such as longitudinal income and employment files for inhabitants of social and affordable housing, housing first programs and emergency relief shelters to describe impacts of non-market housing and homelessness.

Part 2: Examples of recent research on housing at Statistics Canada

Housing Use Projections for Immigrants and Non-Permanent Residents

This study explores key factors influencing the aggregate housing use of immigrants and non-permanent residents, including transitions from temporary to permanent residency, retention patterns of new immigrants, and historical housing occupancy trends observed from the 2016 to 2021 censuses. Building on these factors, it estimates the demand for owned and rented housing units corresponding to planned immigration levels from 2025 to 2030.

Renters’ Shelter Costs by Duration of Tenancy

Using Census of population and National Household Survey data, this study sheds light on trends in shelter cost differences by duration of tenancy from 1996 to 2021, and how this gap in rental costs between recent renters and longer-term renters varies across municipalities and neighbourhoods. Findings show that the gap between recent and long-term renters’ shelter costs have widened over the study period, and that tenure-based gaps in rental costs are pervasive beyond the priciest housing markets of Toronto and Vancouver.

Investors in Residential Real Estate

This research project provides detailed information on residential real estate investors and the properties they own in the select provinces, based on data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP). It documents the demographic characteristics of investors, including age, sex and immigration status. It also looks at the geographic distribution of investors in certain provinces.

Introducing the Housing Hardship measure

Housing hardship is a residual income measure that assesses whether households can afford basic necessities such as food, clothing, and transportation after paying for housing. CMHC researchers used Census 2016 and 2021 microdata to develop new insights about housing affordability that have not been previously observed using existing housing needs indicators.
