In 2006, the average monthly shelter cost for renter households was $728 and for owner households it was $998. For owners without a mortgage it was lower at $455 and for owners with a mortgage it was higher at $1393. Shelter costs are the average monthly total of all shelter expenses paid by households to secure shelter. Shelter costs for owners may include the mortgage payment, property taxes, condominium fees and the costs of electricity, heat and municipal services. Shelter costs for renters may include rent and the costs of electricity, heat and municipal services. The map shows by census division the average owner’s major (monthly) payments on shelter costs for households with a mortgage.

This dataset includes one dataset which was custom ordered from Statistics Canada.The table includes information on housing suitability and shelter-cost-to-income ratio by number of bedrooms, housing tenure, age of primary household maintainer, household type, and income quartile ranges for census subdivisions in British Columbia. The dataset is in Beyond 20/20 (.ivt) format. The Beyond 20/20 browser is required in order to open it. This software can be freely downloaded from the Statistics Canada website: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/public/beyond20-20 (Windows only). For information on how to use Beyond 20/20, please see: http://odesi2.scholarsportal.info/documentation/Beyond2020/beyond20-quickstart.pdf https://wiki.ubc.ca/Library:Beyond_20/20_Guide Custom order from Statistics Canada includes the following dimensions and variables: Geography: Non-reserve CSDs in British Columbia - 299 geographies 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. Housing Tenure Including Presence of Mortgage (5) 1. Total – Private non-band non-farm off-reserve households with an income greater than zero by housing tenure 2. Households who own 3. With a mortgage1 4. Without a mortgage 5. Households who rent Notes: 1) Presence of mortgage - Refers to whether the owner households reported mortgage or loan payments for their dwelling. 2015 Before-tax Household Income Quartile Ranges (5) 1. Total – Private households by quartile ranges1, 2, 3 2. Count of households under or at quartile 1 3. Count of households between quartile 1 and quartile 2 (median) (including at quartile 2) 4. Count of households between quartile 2 (median) and quartile 3 (including at quartile 3) 5. Count of households over quartile 3 Notes: 1) A private household will be assigned to a quartile range depending on its CSD-level location and depending on its tenure (owned and rented). Quartile ranges for owned households in a specific CSD are delimited by the 2015 before-tax income quartiles of owned households with an income greater than zero and residing in non-farm off-reserve dwellings in that CSD. Quartile ranges for rented households in a specific CSD are delimited by the 2015 before-tax income quartiles of rented households with an income greater than zero and residing in non-farm off-reserve dwellings in that CSD. 2) For the income quartiles dollar values (the delimiters) please refer to Table 1. 3) Quartiles 1 to 3 are suppressed if the number of actual records used in the calculation (not rounded or weighted) is less than 16. For cases in which the renters’ quartiles or the owners’ quartiles (figures from Table 1) of a CSD are suppressed the CSD is assigned to a quartile range depending on the provincial renters’ or owners’ quartile figures. Number of Bedrooms (Unit Size) (6) 1. Total – Private households by number of bedrooms1 2. 0 bedrooms (Bachelor/Studio) 3. 1 bedroom 4. 2 bedrooms 5. 3 bedrooms 6. 4 bedrooms Note: 1) Dwellings with 5 bedrooms or more included in the total count only. Housing Suitability (6) 1. Total - Housing suitability 2. Suitable 3. Not suitable 4. One bedroom shortfall 5. Two bedroom shortfall 6. Three or more bedroom shortfall Note: 1) 'Housing suitability' refers to whether a private household is living in suitable accommodations according to the National Occupancy Standard (NOS); that is, whether the dwelling has enough bedrooms for the size and composition of the household. A household is deemed to be living in suitable accommodations if its dwelling has enough bedrooms, as calculated using the NOS. 'Housing suitability' assesses the required number of bedrooms for a household based on the age, sex, and relationships among household members. An alternative variable, 'persons per room,' considers all rooms in a private dwelling and the number of household members. Housing suitability and the National Occupancy Standard (NOS) on which it is based were developed by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) through consultations with provincial housing agencies. Shelter-cost-to-income-ratio (4) 1. Total – Private non-band non-farm off-reserve households with an income greater than zero 2. Spending less than 30% of households total income on shelter costs 3. Spending 30% or more of households total income on shelter costs 4. Spending 50% or more of households total income on shelter costs Note: 'Shelter-cost-to-income ratio' refers to the proportion of average total income of household which is spent on shelter costs.

The average resale house price in Canada was forecast to reach nearly ******* 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 *** 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 *** million Canadian dollars in 2024.

Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) This dataset contains 18 tables which draw upon data from the 2021 Canadian Census of Population. The tables are a custom order and contain data pertaining to core housing need and characteristics of households and dwellings. This custom order was placed in collaboration with Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada to fill data gaps in their Housing Needs Assessment Template. 17 of the tables each cover a different geography in Canada: one for Canada as a whole, one for all Canadian census divisions (CD), and 15 for all census subdivisions (CSD) across Canada. The 18th table contains the median income for all geographies. Statistics Canada used these median incomes as the "area median household income (AMHI)," from which they derived some of the data fields within the Shelter Costs/Household Income dimension. The dataset is in Beyond 20/20 (.ivt) format. The Beyond 20/20 browser is required in order to open it.

Data Quality and Suppression: - 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. - Area suppression is used to replace all income characteristic data with an 'x' for geographic areas with populations and/or number of households below a specific threshold. If a tabulation contains quantitative income data (e.g., total income, wages), qualitative data based on income concepts (e.g., low income before tax status) or derived data based on quantitative income variables (e.g., indexes) for individuals, families or households, then the following rule applies: income characteristic data are replaced with an 'x' for areas where the population is less than 250 or where the number of private households is less than 40. Source: Statistics Canada - When showing count data, Statistics Canada employs random rounding in order to reduce the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations. Random rounding transforms all raw counts to random rounded counts. Reducing the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations becomes pertinent for very small (sub)populations. All counts greater than 10 are rounded to a base of 5, meaning they will end in either 0 or 5. The random rounding algorithm controls the results and rounds the unit value of the count according to a predetermined frequency. Counts ending in 0 or 5 are not changed. Counts less than 10 are rounded to a base of 10, meaning they will be rounded to either 10 or Zero. Universe: Private Households in Non-farm Non-band Off-reserve Occupied Private Dwellings with Income Greater than zero. Households examined for Core Housing Need: Private, non-farm, non-reserve, owner- or renter-households with incomes greater than zero and shelter-cost-to-income ratios less than 100% are assessed for 'Core Housing Need.'
