Housing & Rental Market

Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0133 (Rents) - Reference year 2025 - Provincial average across CMHC-surveyed centres

Note: figures are single-year vintages. StatCan and CMHC do not publish ACS-style rolling 5-year housing averages, the long-form Census of Population every 5 years (2016, 2021) plays the equivalent precision role.
