This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Geography (11 items: Canada; Prince Edward Island; Nova Scotia; Newfoundland and Labrador ...), Housing estimates (3 items: Housing starts; Housing under construction; Housing completions ...), Type of unit (6 items: Total units; Semi-detached; Single-detached; Multiples ...).

Footnotes: 1 Geographical areas modified every 5 years to reflect most recent census definitions, therefore, data are not strictly comparable historically. 2 These data are obtained from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and are provided subject to CMHC Licence Agreement for the Use of Data (opens new window)." 3 For additional information and definitions, refer to CMHC Starts and Completions Survey Methodology and Definitions (opens new window)."

This data compares how many new homes have been started towards municipal housing targets for 2031. Data is shown only for municipalities assigned housing targets by the provincial government. Please note a review of data for the 2023 year was undertaken in Summer 2024. Statistics reflect post-review adjustments and may not align with CMHC data as published in its 2023 and 2024 surveys (Starts and Completions Survey). Over a two-year period, however, statistics across both organizations will align. Learn more about Ontario’s progress towards building at least 1.5 million homes

Note: April 22, 2025: Updates to "CHN by income and HH size_v3". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: April 16, 2025: Updates to the following files have been made on April 9th and 16th: "CHN by income and HH size_v2", "cd_hh_projections_v2", "csd_hh_projections_v2", and "CMAs_all data_v3". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: March 31, 2025 files "Data_Element_1a" & "...1b" updated to v3 to include additional geographies (CDs and PTs) in the calculation of households close to rail transit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: This dataset as of March 31st, 2025 now contains data on all 12 data elements, including core housing need among "gender diverse" households (formerly called "2SLGBTQ+" households) in table "Data_Element_ 3". That table (i.e. Data_Element_3) now also includes core housing need data on those priority populations reported in HART's HNA Tool. Two other outputs were migrated from that HNA Tool into this Federal HNA Template dataset: Income Categories and Affordable Shelter Costs, Percentage of Households in Core Housing Need by Income Category and Household Size, and 2021 Affordable Housing Deficit. (HICC Section 3.6), and Projected Households by Household Size and Income Category (HICC Section 6.1.1) This Borealis dataset has been updated accordingly to include that data: "AMHI.csv" (2021 AMHI and dollar ranges of income and shelter cost categories) "cd_hh_projections.csv" (Projected households in 2031 for CDs) "csd_hh_projections.csv" (Projected households in 2031 for CSDs) "CHN by income and HH size.csv" (2021 core housing need by income and household size) The geographical scope of the dataset has also been expanded. Before March 31st, only CSDs were included. As of March 31st, data on CDs, provinces/territories, the country of Canada, and CMA/CAs has been added. Not all data is available for all geographies: Data from CMHC's Rental Market Survey and Starts and Completions Survey are reported at the CSD level within CMAs/CAs. Results for provinces/territories/Canada are reported, but data for CDs is not. Since these surveys may not include all CSDs within a given CD, we have not attempted to aggregate this CSD data into CDs. Data from any custom census order by HART does not include CMA/CAs. We are able to aggregate the data by CSD into CMA/CAs, but all income and shelter cost data had been categorized based on the AMHI of the CSD as part of the original order (i.e. whether a household is "Very Low" income or "Low" income depends on the median household income of the CSD that the household lives in). This will lead to some inaccuracy and ambiguity of interpretation for the income or shelter cost data reported for CMAs. Data on "gender diverse" households is only available from Statistics Canada for geographies with a population count greater than 50,000 as of the 2021 census. This represents a total of 239 geographies (incl. Canada and the provinces/territories). Due to the low number of CSDs with this data, we have not attempted to aggregated this to the CMA/CA level. Data for CMAs/CAs will be added to the tool by mid-April 2025, but the source data has been summarized and included in this dataset: "CMAs_all data.csv" (All available data for CMAs and CAs) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update (March 14, 2025): Tables "Data_Element_1a" and "...1b" have been updated to exclude some non-rail rapid transit stops that were erroneous included, notably in Winnipeg. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information, please visit HART.ubc.ca. Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) This database was created to accompany the dashboard on HART's website called the "Federal Housing Needs Assessment Template." URL: https://hart.ubc.ca/federal-hna-template/. This dashboard presents housing-related data to help communities complete the Housing Needs Assessment template requested by the Government of Canada as a requirement for certain funding applications. For more information on that template, please visit the Government of Canada's website (https://housing-infrastructure.canada.ca/housing-logement/hna-ebml/template-modele-eng.html). This dataset represents the underlying data used to populate HART's dashboard. The data contains some public and custom data from Canada's Census of Population (author: Statistics Canada), public data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) regarding it's Rental Market Survey as well as it's Starts and Completions Survey, private...

Housing Starts in Canada increased to 278.60 Thousand units in April from 214.20 Thousand units in March of 2025. This dataset provides the latest reported value for - Canada Housing Starts - plus previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news.

(StatCan Product) This information product has been customized to present information on monthly building permit information for Alberta's census subdivisions in 2015. The monthly Building Permits Survey of Canadian municipalities collects data on the value of construction intentions for buildings in the non-residential sector and the number of dwellings authorized and value of construction projects in the residential sector. The survey also measures the number of dwelling units demolished. Building permit data are widely used as a leading indicator for the construction industry since the issuance of a building permit is one of the first steps in the construction process. Statistics on building permits are essential for the computation of residential capital expenditures and inputs for the quarterly and annual estimates of net capital stock and depreciation by component. They are also a major input in the computation of the investment in non-residential building construction on a sub-annual basis. In addition, the results of this survey are used by CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) as a reference base for conducting a monthly survey of housing starts and completions in accordance with its mandate. The statistics are used by a wide range of economists, construction industry analysts, housing market analysts and economic development officers across Canada.
