This dashboard provides timely insights into rental housing affordability across Canada by analyzing recent online rental listings. It aims to complement traditional data sources like the Census and CMHC surveys, which have significant reporting delays and cover gaps, especially in smaller communities and for the secondary rental markets.
Use this tool to explore current asking rents, compare trends across different data sources, and understand rental market dynamics in your community.
The data in this dashboard covers all of Canada at the following levels of geography:
• Canada
• Provinces and Territories (PR)
• Census Division (CD)
• Census Subdivision (CSD)
• Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) and Census Agglomeration (CA)
• Census Tract (CT)
Throughout the dashboard you will see information icons, hover over them with your mouse to read additional details.
