  • 4. Social inclusion indicators for ethnocultural groups in Canada: Basic needs and housing
    Data Visualization: 71-607-X2023007
    Description: This interactive data visualization tool uses graphs to present social inclusion indicators under the theme of Basic needs and housing. The indicators (household food security and insecurity [5], population living in a dwelling owned by one member of the household; population in core housing need; population living in suitable housing; and in affordable housing) can be disaggregated by visible minority and selected sociodemographic characteristics. Data are available for Canada, geographical regions of Canada, province or territory and census metropolitan area. This data visualization tool is part of a broader conceptual framework on social inclusion and covers a total of 11 themes. Each theme has a similar interactive visualization tool.

  • 5. Measuring unmet housing need and housing instability in households with roommates and extended family
    Articles and reports: 46-28-0001202500100001
    Description: This paper examines households with roommates or extended family members, focusing on their housing characteristics. First, it describes living arrangements and how housing costs are shared among household members within these households. Second, it examines characteristics of individuals in these house-sharing and cost-sharing arrangements to illustrate housing instability risks and risks of unmet housing need. Lastly, it assesses some risk profiles to estimate the size of the population in these households that could be at risk of housing instability or unmet housing need.

  • 7. Households with multiple maintainers and the impact on homeownership rates
    Articles and reports: 46-28-0001202400100004
    Description: This paper examines households with multiple maintainers. A household maintainer is a person who contributes financially to housing costs. First, it examines the overall prevalence of multiple-maintainer households. Then, it examines the differences between maintainers in a household. Lastly, because homeownership rates by age are common household statistics, the robustness of those results is explored through simulations using the age of different household maintainers.

    The study aims to discuss homelessness in Canada.

The study also looks more closely at income levels and income sources in order to highlight the differences between residents who live in particular types of shelters as well as the population living in private dwellings.
