Data
The data used to create this interactive web application is from the following listed data tables:
- Table 46-10-0075 Rural Canada Housing Profiles, residential building permits, numbers and values, by type of residential building and type of work
- Table 46-10-0076 Rural Canada Housing Profiles, values of investments in residential building construction, by type of residential building and type of work (x 1,000)
Additional information
The Rural Canada Housing Profiles interactive dashboard provides a visual overview of selected housing indicators from the Rural Canada Housing Profiles (RCHP) product of Statistics Canada. While the main theme is rural and small town (RST) areas, the RCHP as well as the tool also features data for urban areas. The variables presented are the numbers and values of residential building permits, and the values of investment in residential building construction. All values displayed are in current dollars.
This data visualization is based on data from the following two tables that have been produced as part of the RCHP: Table 46-10-0075-01 Residential building permits, numbers and values and Table 46-10-0076-01 Values of investments in residential building construction.
The RCHP is based on data from the following Statistics Canada programs: the 2021 Census of Population, Canadian Housing Statistics Program, the Building Permits program, and the Investment in Building Construction program.
The RCHP database features five tables: (1) Table 46-10-0075-01 Residential building permits, numbers and values; (2) Table 46-10-0076-01 Values of investments in residential building construction; (3) Table 46-10-0077-01 Residential property characteristics; (4) Table 46-10-0078-01 Occupied private dwelling characteristics; and (5) Table 46-10-0079-01 Private household characteristics.
The values of building permits, based on the Building Permits program, relate to intentions to carry out residential building construction in the future on the part of applicants obtaining permits from municipalities over a given reference year. The values of investment in residential building construction, based on the Investment in Building Construction program, reflect the values of the work put in place over the reference year as a result of construction activity that follows permit approval, whether this was obtained in the reference year or in an earlier year (or years). While the permit and investment values are related, there is a lag between when a permit is obtained and the ensuing construction activity that relates to it. Investment values are based on permits data as well as other data sources.

How to use
How to use this interactive visual
The Rural Canada Housing Profiles interactive dashboard is a tool for visualization of rural and small town housing-related data. The variables presented are the numbers and values of residential building permits, and the values of investment in residential building construction. All values displayed are in current dollars.
The tool has two pages, the first for viewing data for Canada as a whole, a province or a territory, and the second focused on viewing data by municipality. Users can navigate between the two pages by selecting either the “Canada, provinces and territories” button or the “Municipalities” button near the top, left side of the pages. Both pages display the same variables.
"Rural housing overview, Canada, provinces and territories" visualization page
The charts on this page display the data by rural and small town (RST) areas and urban areas of the selected geography. Data can be filtered by:
- Geography (to select Canada, a province, or a territory)
- Year
- Type of residential building
- Type of work
In the “Geography”, “Year”, and “Location indicator” drop-down menus, only one selection is possible at a time. Multiple selections can be made in the “Type of residential building” drop-down menu, with a bar showing in the charts for each selected type. Multiple selections are also possible for the “Type of work” drop-down menu; however, only the cumulative values of all selections are displayed.
"Rural housing overview by municipality" visualization page
The charts on this page display the data by municipality (Census subdivision). When a municipality has been selected in “Geography”, “Location indicator” will be updated to show whether the selected municipality is rural and small town (RST) or urban, while the charts will display its data for each year. Data can be filtered by:
- Geography (to select a municipality)
- Type of residential building
- Type of work
In the “Geography” drop-down menu, only one selection is possible at a time. Multiple selections can be made in the “Type of residential building” drop-down menu, with a bar showing in the charts for each selected type, if corresponding values are available. Multiple selections are also possible for the “Type of work” drop-down menu; however, only the cumulative values of all selections are displayed.
