Symbol legend: .. not available for a specific reference period ... not applicable A data quality: excellent Footnotes: 1 A residential property" refers to all land and structures intended for private occupancy whether on a permanent or a temporary basis." 2 The geographic boundaries used in this table are the 2016 census subdivisions boundaries. 3 Residency participation is defined as follows: A property is classified as having non-resident participation when at least one owner is defined as non-resident. Conversely, when there are no non-resident owners, a property is classified as having resident owners only; it is deemed to be exempt from non-resident participation. 4 The Composite Quality Indicator (CQI) shown in this table is created by combining many individual quality indicators, each one representing the quality of different Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) data processing steps (for example: coding, geocoding, linkage and imputation) and includes the following values: A - Excellent: All domain variables and the variable of interest are of excellent quality. B - Very good: All domain variables and the variable of interest are of very good to excellent quality. C - Good: Geography quality is considered good while all other domains variables and the variable of interest are of very good to excellent quality. D - Acceptable: Geography and period of construction variables are of acceptable quality while all other domains variables and the variable of interest are of good to excellent quality. E - Use with caution: Several of domain variables or the variable of interest are of poor quality. F - Too unreliable to be published. The CQIs are available starting with the reference period of 2020, except for the Northwest Territories where they are available from 2019 reference period. 5 Assessment value and assessment value per square foot estimates for the most recent period of construction (2016 to reference period) are suppressed for Ontario due to the availability of these data. 6 Nova Scotia estimates are not available for the reference periods 2018 and 2019. 7 Ontario estimates for the 2018 reference period have been revised. 8 New Brunswick estimates are not available for the reference periods 2018 and 2019. 9 British Columbia estimates for the 2018 reference period have been revised. 10 Property type" refers to property characteristics and/or dwelling configuration on which there can be one or more residential structures. Property types include: single-detached houses semi-detached houses condominium apartments mobile homes11 Estimates by property type in Newfoundland and Labrador are only available in the census subdivision of St. John’s. 12 Estimates by property type in Northwest Territories are not available. 13 Estimates by property type in Nunavut are not available. 14 Period of construction" refers to the period in time during which the building or dwelling was originally constructed. This refers to the period in which the building was completed not the time of any later remodelling additions or conversions. For properties having multiple residential structures this refers to the period in which the most recent structure was completed." 15 Estimates by period of construction in Northwest Territories are not available. 16 Estimates by period of construction in Nunavut are not available. 17 Estimates by residency participation in Yukon are only available in the census subdivision of Whitehorse. 18 Newfoundland and Labrador estimates are not available at the provincial level and for the category “Outside of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs)”. 19 Northwest Territories estimates are available only for the 2019 reference period. 20 Northwest Territories estimates are only available in the census agglomeration of Yellowknife. 21 All counts undergo random rounding, a process that transforms all raw counts into randomly rounded counts. This reduces the possibility of identifying individuals in the tabulations. Subtotals and totals may not exactly equal the sum of component parts due to system rounding. 22 Assessment value" refers to the assessed value of the property for the purposes of determining property taxes. It is important to note that the assessed value does not necessarily represent the market value. Given that different provinces and territories have their own assessment periods and durations of the valuation roll it is difficult to make accurate comparisons of similar properties from one province or territory to another. For properties that are being utilized for both residential and non-residential purposes only the residential portion's value has been taken into account. The reference years of the assessment values by province or territory are available here: Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP)." 23 Averages and medians are calculated using properties with non-missing or non-zero values when there is no imputation available for the variables of interest (for example assessment value, total living area, and assessment value per square foot).
