Census in Brief
Dwellings in Canada
Census in BriefRelease date: May 3, 2017
Highlights
- The majority of occupied private dwellings in Canada in 2016 were single-detached houses. Single-detached houses represented 53.6% of all dwelling types in 2016. This share has been declining over the past iii decades.
- The share of dwellings that were apartments was highest in the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Montréal, Vancouver and Québec.
- Toronto was the CMA with the largest share of dwellings in loftier-rise buildings (those with 5 or more storeys). Nearly 3 in 10 dwellings in Toronto were in high-rise apartment buildings.
- In the Montréal CMA, 4 in 10 dwellings were in flat buildings that have fewer than five storeys.
- In Calgary and Edmonton, two of the fastest-growing CMAs, apartment dwellings accounted for a smaller share of all dwellings, at 25.4% and 26.v%, respectively.
Introduction
Our homes are where we live out our babyhood, relax afterward piece of work, and savour our retirement. Our needs and preferences for housing modify over time, and they differ from region to region.
This Demography in Brief article is the commencement of two releases from the 2016 Census to wait at housing. This release presents information on the types of dwellings in which we live. The second release, scheduled for October 2017, volition examine housing characteristics, such as homeownership, condominiums and shelter costs, including utility costs and affordability.
Dwellings are divided broadly into two types: private and commonage. Private dwellings are classified according to their structural type, such as single-discrete, flat or mobile home. Collective dwellings refer to dwellings of commercial, institutional or communal nature.
The 2016 Census enumerated 35.ii million people. Amongst those living in Canada in 2016, 98% resided in a individual dwelling and 2% lived in a collective dwelling.
The majority of individual dwellings in Canada are single-discrete houses
The single-detached house represents, to some, a symbol of traditional, heart-class living—a dream to which many may aspire. However, a number of factors have placed pressure on Canadians' ability, and fifty-fifty want, to alive in this blazon of dwelling house. College business firm prices, the pressures of a long commute to piece of work and an aging population are 3 of the many factors that may lead Canadians to live in dissimilar dwelling types.
In 2016, the most common dwelling type in Canada was still the unmarried-detached house, representing 53.6%, or seven.5 one thousand thousand, of the xiv.1 million occupied private dwellings in Canada. Every bit for the remaining proportion, 18.0% of dwellings were in flat buildings that have fewer than five storeys, 9.9% were in apartment buildings that have five or more storeys, 5.6% were apartments in a duplex and 12.9% were other types of dwellings.
The share of dwellings that were unmarried-detached houses was down slightly from 2011 (55.0%). The proportion of single-detached houses has been declining over the past 3 decades. This decline is especially prominent in British Columbia, where the share of single-detached houses brutal from more than sixty% in the 1980s to 44.1% in 2016.
In two provinces, Quebec and British Columbia, single-detached houses represented less than half of occupied private dwellings in 2016. Differences in the dwelling distribution at the provincial level are largely driven by the distribution in large urban centres (census metropolitan areas, or CMAs).
In 10 of Canada'southward 35CMAs, single-detached houses represented less than one-half of occupied individual dwellings in 2016—that is, in Vancouver, Montréal, Victoria, Toronto, Québec, Sherbrooke, Ottawa–Gatineau, Abbotsford–Mission, Trois-Rivières and Halifax. In these large urban centres, apartments in low- and high-rise buildings, besides as duplexes, account for a big share of dwellings. Leading the way in 2016 was the CMA of Montréal, where apartments made upwards 58.four% of all dwellings, followed by Vancouver (58.1%) and Québec (49.iv%). In fact, all five CMAs in the province of Quebec ranked highly among CMAs with the largest share of apartment dwellings.
But non all CMAs have a large share of apartments. In Edmonton and Calgary, 2 of the fastest-growing CMAs, flat dwellings accounted for a smaller share of all dwellings, at 26.v% and 25.four%, respectively.
Exterior CMAs, single-discrete houses represented the clear majority of dwellings in 2016, comprising 72.7% of all occupied private dwellings.

Loftier-rises stand up tall in Toronto and Vancouver
The previous demography release found in The Daily of Feb eight, 2017 emphasized the loftier concentration of Canadians in Canada'southward 35 CMAs. The high-rise apartment edifice (5 or more than storeys) is peradventure the most noticeable symbol of this urban intensification.
In 2016, the CMA of Toronto was the urban centre with the largest share of dwellings in high-ascent buildings. In that CMA, nearly 3 in ten dwellings were in buildings of this size. London was second on this list, with 16.8% of dwellings in buildings that have 5 or more than storeys, followed past Vancouver, with 16.7%.
Montréal, the second-largest CMA in Canada, ranked 12th in the same listing. In this CMA, eight.8% of dwellings were in high-rises; apartment buildings that have fewer than five storeys were the most common, with iv in 10 dwellings being in low-rise apartments.
Construction trends of single-detached houses and apartments seem to follow population and business cycles. Trends in edifice permits Notation 1 signal that the construction pace of apartments, and especially condominium units, has accelerated since the early 2000s, and that this has surpassed the number of single-detached houses constructed since 2012. Further data on condominiums and on the value of dwellings from the 2016 Demography will be released on October 25, 2017.

Approximately 1% of Canadians live in nursing homes or seniors' residences
Collective dwellings geared towards older Canadians, such as nursing homes or residences for senior citizens, are an important office of how lodge supports the housing needs of seniors.
In 2016, 425,750 Canadians, or ane.2%, lived in nursing homes or residences for senior citizens. This share varied modestly by province and typically exceeded 1% of the provincial population. Within the provinces, the share of the population living in collective dwellings targeted to seniors was highest in Quebec, at one.viii%. In the territories, these types of commonage dwellings were much less common, with 0.3% of residents in the territories living in a nursing abode or residence for senior citizens.
The share of the population living in nursing homes or residences for senior citizens also exceeded one% both inside and exterior CMAs.
Given population aging, this type of living arrangement can be expected to go on to grow in the future.

Information sources, methods and definitions
Information sources
The data in this analysis are from the 2016 Census of Population. Further information on the census can be found in the Guide to the Census of Population, 2016, Catalogue no. 98-304-X.
Information on census data quality and comparability for types of dwellings can exist found in the Structural Type of Dwelling and Collectives Reference Guide, Census of Population, 2016, Catalogue no. 98-500-X2016002.
Methods
Random rounding and pct distributions: To ensure the confidentiality of responses nerveless for the 2016 Demography, a random rounding process is used to alter the values reported in individual cells. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently rounded. Similarly, pct distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may non necessarily add together up to 100%.
Because of random rounding, counts and percentages may vary slightly between different census products, such as the analytical documents, highlight tables and data tables.
Definitions
Edifice permit: Refers to the final dominance to get-go work on a building project. It is granted by public authorities in response to an awarding by a principal and based on a specific building plan.
Please refer to the Dictionary, Demography of Population, 2016, Catalogue no. 98-301-X, for additional data on the demography variables.
