- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500900004Description: Office vacancies are higher across Canadian cities than what it was prior to the onset of COVID-19 pandemic because of the widespread adoption of work from home (WFH) and hybrid working arrangements. A better understanding of where teleworkable jobs—jobs that can be done from home—are located informs whether WFH is potentially a viable mechanism for increasing the supply of convertible buildings in areas where housing shortages are most prevalent. This article shows the geography of teleworkable jobs in Toronto and across the Greater Toronto Area.Release date: 2025-09-24
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500800003Description: Renters’ shelter costs can vary substantially by duration of tenancy. Renters who recently moved into their dwelling can pay substantially more than longstanding renters. This tenure-based discrepancy in rents paid can have important implications in terms of affordability and residential mobility. This study sheds light on trends in shelter cost differences by duration of tenancy from 1996 to 2021, and how this gap in rental costs between recent renters and longer-term renters varies across municipalities and neighbourhoods.Release date: 2025-08-27
