Understanding this indicator
- What it is
- New homes completed over 12 months for every 100 residents added over 12 months.
- How it's measured
- We divide CMHC completions by Statistics Canada's 12-month population change and multiply by 100.
- How to read it
- Higher values mean more completed homes per new resident.
- The average household has more than one person, so a value of 40 or so can still match household growth.
- Limitations
- A descriptive ratio, not an estimate of housing need. It isn't shown where population fell.
