The tables were developed using data from several Statistics Canada programs: 2021 Census of Population, Canadian Housing Statistics Program (2018 to 2021), Building Permits (2018 to 2021) and Investment in Building Construction (2018 to 2021).

The final output is five data tables (residential building permits; investment in residential building construction; residential property characteristics; occupied private dwelling characteristics; and private household characteristics). Data are organized geographically at the following levels (where applicable): Canada, provinces or territories, census subdivisions (CSD). Aggregates are provided for rural and urban parts of Canada, provinces, and territories, while indication is provided as to whether a CSD is considered rural or urban according to the definition used - CSDs outside census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs) are defined as 'rural', while CSDs within a CMA/CA are defined as 'urban'.Release date: 2023-05-23
