Prospective homebuyers in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Toronto, Ontario, needed an annual income of over 200,000 Canadian dollars in 2023 to qualify for the average priced home. In Vancouver, this figure was approximately 237,000 Canadian dollars. British Columbia and Ontario, are Canada's most expensive provinces for housing. According to a January 2023 forecast by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the housing market is expected to cool down in the next two years, which is likely to improve home affordability.

Annual adjusted household disposable income including social transfers in kind.

This map shows male median income for the male population 15 years of age and over reporting income in 1995 (not including institutional residents). The distribution of incomes above the national male median of $25 270 were most prominent in the urban centres including Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa-Hull, Montréal. However, a number of rural and northern census divisions had incomes above the male national median. These included Prince George in the Fraser Fort-George Regional District and the Peace River Regional District of British Columbia. These high incomes were partially attributed to the higher wages as a result of employment incentives such as living and wage supplements to compensate for the higher costs of living.

The global non-response rate (GNR) is an important measure of census data quality. It combines total non-response (households) and partial non-response (questions). A lower GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and, as a result, a lower risk of inaccuracy. The counts and estimates for geographic areas with a GNR equal to or greater than 50% are not published in the standard products. The counts and estimates for these areas have a high risk of non-response bias, and in most cases, should not be released. However, it will be provided upon request.

Survey of Household Spending (SHS), average household spending, Canada, regions and provinces.

This map shows median income of individuals, for the population 15 years of age and over reporting income in 1995 (not including institutional residents). The highest median incomes were observed in the urban areas of Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa-Hull, Montreal, and Quebec. According to the 1996 Census, close to 21 million individuals reported income for 1995. The total income from all sources reflected a 6% decrease when compared to 1990. The national median income for Canada was $18 891. Incomes of individuals and families living in rural Canada tended to be lower than for urban areas. Differences in income distributions were also significant within major urban areas. Nearly 80% of the total population lived in census metropolitan areas.

The average resale house price in Canada was forecast to reach nearly 836,000 Canadian dollars in 2026, according to a January forecast. In 2024, house prices increased after falling for the first time since 2019. One of the reasons for the price correction was the notable drop in transaction activity. Housing transactions picked up in 2024 and are expected to continue to grow until 2026. British Columbia, which is the most expensive province for housing, is projected to see the average house price reach 1.2 million Canadian dollars in 2026. Affordability in Vancouver Vancouver is the most populous city in British Columbia and is also infamously expensive for housing. In 2023, the city topped the ranking for least affordable housing market in Canada, with the average homeownership cost outweighing the average household income. There are a multitude of reasons for this, but most residents believe that foreigners investing in the market cause the high housing prices. Victoria housing market The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, where housing prices are also very high. The price of a single family home in Victoria's most expensive suburb, Oak Bay was 1.9 million Canadian dollars in 2024.

The average mortgage payment in the large and mid-sized cities in Canada ranged between 1,300 Canadian dollars and 2,600 Canadian dollars. In the fourth quarter of the year, Vancouver topped the ranking, with homebuyers paying, on average, ***** Canadian dollars monthly. In Toronto, the average monthly scheduled mortgage payment was ***** Canadian dollars. Canada’s housing market House prices in Canada vary widely across the country. In 2023, the average sales price of detached single-family homes in Vancouver was nearly three times as expensive as the national average. Vancouver is undoubtedly considered the least affordable housing market: In 2023, the cost of buying a home with a **-year mortgage in Canada was approximately ** percent of the median household income, whereas in Vancouver, it was nearly *** percent. Development of house prices The development of house prices depends on multiple factors, such as availability on the market and demand. Since 2005, house prices in Canada have been continuously growing. According to the MSL composite house price index, 2021 measured the highest house price increase.

The house price ratio in Canada peaked in the second quarter of 2022, followed by three quarters of decline and a slight rebound in 2023. The ratio measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. Canada's index score in the third quarter of 2024 amounted to 136.8, which means that house price growth has outpaced income growth by almost 37 percent since 2015. Canadian home prices are fallingAfter several years of steady increase, Canadian house prices were forecast to fall slightly in 2023. This was also the case in British Columbia, which has consistently been the most expensive province for housing. This is likely because Vancouver, Canada's most expensive city, is located there. Canadian incomes on the riseIncomes in Canada have steadily risen since 2000 and show no signs of slowing down in the near future. This should improve housing affordability, as long as home price growth slows down.

The affordability of single-family detached homes in Canada in the second quarter of 2021, by market, was calculated as a share of mortgage payment in average household income. The mortgage payments in Vancouver constituted 85.4 percent of average household income in the second quarter of 2021, making it the most expensive area in Canada to own a single-family home. The average mortgage payment in Canada constituted 49.7 percent of the average household income.

The affordability of condominiums in Canada in the second quarter of 2021, by market, was calculated as a share of mortgage payment in average household income. The mortgage payments in Vancouver constituted 36 percent of the average household income in 2021 making it the most expensive area in Canada to own a condominium.

This dataset includes Statistics Canada table 46-10-0049-01, titled “Total family income and owner characteristics at the residential property level”.

The dataset has been split up into three tables:
Table A includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by family type (lone-parent family, couple family, and other census family).
Table B includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by pension income categories (eg. whether or not the owner of the property is receiving a pension).
Table C includes includes includes the number of properties and average assessment value of properties by the property type (eg. detached house, condominium), and by residency participation types (eg. whether the property is owned by resident owners only or a mix of resident and non-resident owners).

The table has been edited to include only geographies from British Columbia and to have the unique ID numbers added to the Census Subdivisions and Census Metropolitan Areas. The table is available in CSV and Excel Workbook format. Definitions and notes are included at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

This data set was collected as part of the Canadian Housing Statistics Program by Statistics Canada.
