Abstract

Approximately 66% of households in Canada own their home, compared to approximately 34% of households that rent their dwelling. The highest provincial ownership rates were in Newfoundland and Labrador (78%) and the lowest in Quebec (58%). Nunavut at 24% has the lowest ownership rates in the country as more than the half of the dwellings are public housing. Home ownership is less in the larger metropolitan areas than in rural and smaller centres.

Map Source: Adapted from Statistics Canada, Structural Type of Dwelling (9) and Tenure (4) for Occupied Private Dwellings, for Canada, Provinces, Territories, Census Divisions and Census Subdivisions, 2001 Census - 20% Sample Data - Catalogue No. 95F0321XCB2001006.

Dwelling refers only to owner-occupied private dwellings, which do not include dwellings situated on farms, but can include owner-occupied dwellings situated on rented or leased land or part of a condominium.
