- Articles and reports: 89-613-M2004005Geography: CanadaDescription:
The report examines housing market trends and housing adequacy, suitability, affordability, and core housing need in Canada's census metropolitan areas (CMAs) from 1991 to 2001.
It begins with a review of demographic and housing market trends, including changes in house prices, rents, and incomes during the 1990s and of factors underlying increasing housing demand late in the decade. Against this backdrop, subsequent chapters examine how well households living in CMAs were housed in 1991, 1996, and 2001. Households that do not live in acceptable housing and do not have sufficient income to afford such housing are deemed to be in core housing need. The last chapter of the report explores the spatial distribution of core housing need in CMAs in 2001 and the characteristics of neighbourhoods in which core housing need was most prevalent.

Release date: 2002-06-21 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2002185Geography: Canada, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
This paper examines whether long-run labour market outcomes depend on residential environment among adults who grew up in subsidized housing in Toronto. The housing program in Toronto provides a full spectrum of neighbourhood quality types to measure outcome differences, and offers a real-life example of large scale neighbourhood quality reform. A primary advantage with this approach is that, conditional on participation in public housing, residential choice is substantially limited. Families that applied for public housing could not specify which project they wished to be housed in and were constrained to what was offered based on availability at the time they applied and by family size. Unlike previous housing mobility experiments, the availability of administrative tax records are used to measure both short and long run outcomes. The results indicate almost no difference in educational attainment, adult earnings, income, and social assistance participation between children from different public housing types. Average outcomes, estimated wage distributions, and outcome correlations among unrelated project neighbours show no significant neighbourhood impact. In contrast, family differences seem to matter a great deal.
Release date: 2002-06-03 - 176. Housing Depreciation in the Canadian CPI ArchivedArticles and reports: 62F0014M2001015Geography: CanadaDescription:
The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) applies a version of the user cost approach to measure the cost of home ownership. Because this approach specifically estimates the costs of using owned accommodation and not those faced by tenants, the measure includes a "replacement cost" (or depreciation) component. Depreciation is the only component in the CPI that is not an out-of-pocket expense. Consequently, economists face a unique set of methodological challenges when measuring depreciation.
Between 1949 and 1997, the annual housing depreciation rate used in the CPI was 2%. Statistics Canada adopted the rate from a study that analysed U.S. Federal Housing Administration field appraisal data from 1939.
This study argues that there is evidence that the 2% depreciation rate is too high to continue to use in the future. Consider that: 1) other Canadian studies show an upper bound of 1.7%, with a median estimate of 1.5%; 2) other statistical agencies use lower rates; and 3) every academic study over the past 40 years has arrived at a lower rate. As a consequence of this study and the existing supporting evidence, the depreciation rate in the Canadian CPI was lowered to 1.5% effective January 1998.
Release date: 2001-11-28 - 177. Mobile homes in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20010025825Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the characteristics of people living in mobile homes, with special emphasis on the differences between rural and urban households.
Release date: 2001-09-11 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20000025535Description:
The U.S. Census Bureau publishes estimates of medians for several characteristics of new houses, with a key estimate being sales price of sold houses. These estimates are calculated from data acquired from interviews of home builders by the Survey of Construction (SOC). The SOC is a multi-stage probability survey whose sample design is well suited to the modified half-sample replication (MHS) method of variance estimation.
Release date: 2001-02-28 - 179. Housing Conditions in Predominantly Rural Regions ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-006-X2000004Geography: CanadaDescription:

The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC, 1999) has developed measures of the suitability of housing in terms of size, condition, and affordability. The purpose of this bulletin is to review the patterns of housing conditions in the predominantly rural regions of Canada.
