Abstract

STOCK OF APARTMENT RENTAL UNITS IN FOUR MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS


Number of apartment rental units per 1,000 people in each of the four major Canadian cities from 1990 to 2016


People with low incomes rely on municipalities to maintain an adequate number of rental units. Low stocks of rental units are generally associated with higher rental prices, and therefore, lower housing affordability. In today’s issue of Social Policy Trends we take a look at the stock of apartment rental units in Canada’s four largest cities over the period of 1990 to 2016.
