< Back to Housing

Core housing need is assessed only for owner and tenant households with income greater than zero and shelter costs under 100% of income, in non-farm, non-reserve private dwellings.

Income is reported for the calendar year before the census and is rounded to the nearest $100.

The 2020 reference year was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic-related government transfers. Compare with caution across cycles.

These estimates come from the long-form questionnaire, which was distributed to a 25% sample of private households. They are subject to sampling variability and may differ from a full enumeration. Read more

To protect confidentiality, Statistics Canada randomly rounds census counts up or down to a multiple of 5 or 10. Totals are rounded independently of their parts, so sub-totals may not match the total and percentages may not add up to 100%. Read more
